Sorel Maritime Agencies Inc. is a full service marine agency. Incorporated in 1957, Sorel Maritime has been a part of Logistec Corporation since 1986. We provides agency services in the ports of Sorel (QC) and Contrecoeur (QC) to a wide range of vessel owners, charterers and ship managers.
As port agents, we attend to all types of vessel operations and service bulk carriers, multipurpose, ro/ro, tankers and heavy lift vessels. Commodities imported and exported at the port include bulk cargoes (agricultural products, pig iron, titanium slags, coal, fertilizers and ore minerals) and general cargo (steel, forest products and heavy lift project cargo). Sorel Maritime is the only vessel agency located in Sorel-Tracy and attends to about 75% of all foreign vessel traffic at the Port of Sorel.
As ship agents for vessel owners, charterers and ship managers, we have the responsibility to ensure that all aspects of a vessel's port call proceed at maximum efficiency and at the lowest cost. Vessel services provided by Sorel Maritime include:
Sorel Maritime acts as a liaison between the stevedores and the vessel's Master and Chief Officer for smooth loading and discharging of commodities. For vessel charterers and operators, Sorel Maritime prepares all official documents related to the port call. Some documents include custom declarations of cargo and vessel, vessel's notice of readiness, statement of facts, cargo manifests, bills of lading and any other documents relating to the port call. Available 24/7, we respond and suggest actions to be taken to solve any problems which may arise with the vessel and act in accordance to our principles instructions.
Sorel Maritime Agencies and its experienced personnel will gladly answer any requests for information on the ports of Sorel and Contrecoeur and will provide estimates for port expenses.
