Afrishore

Afrishore is a Cape Town shipping company, freight forwarder and licensed vessel and rig agent, operating from its office in Woodstock at the Port of Cape Town – the Western Cape's principal repair, project-cargo and offshore-support harbour. As full agent for rigs, drillships, semi-submersibles, OSVs, PSVs, AHTS, tankers and liners, Afrishore handles port and customs clearance, freight forwarding, berth scheduling and port-authority liaison, immigration and crew changes, husbandry, dry docking and repairs coordination, and project-cargo and heavy-lift handling. West-coast coverage extends to the deep-water Port of Saldanha Bay – South Africa's deepest natural port – for rig support, bulk, project cargo and laydown. Both form part of the wider Afrishore group, a marine logistics agency working across the port networks of South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique since 2010. Beyond agency, Afrishore delivers integrated logistics, offshore supply base support, crew and visa coordination and a full procurement capability. Its procurement network sources, expedites and supplies ship spares, technical equipment, consumables and project materials – drawing on established local and international supplier relationships to deliver to vessels at berth or at anchor, to rigs offshore and to quayside warehousing and laydown, including cross-border movement by sea, air and road. From Cape Town, Afrishore has run campaigns including Eco Atlantic's Gazania-1 exploration supply base, the TotalEnergies anchor proof-testing programme and the Dock Titan heavy-lift to Réunion. ISO 9001 certified, it provides one accountable point of coordination from first notice of arrival to departure clearance.
