Independent representation safeguarding shipowners' interests during port calls in Tunisia. We ensure control, transparency and operational security at all times.
Navlion Marine provides independent Owners Protecting Agent (OPA) services in Tunisia, exclusively safeguarding shipowners' interests during port calls and cargo operations. When charterers appoint their own agents, shipowners need an independent representative to ensure their interests are protected.
As your OPA, we act as your eyes and ears on the ground, providing transparent oversight and preventing operational and financial risks that may arise from conflicts of interest.
When charterers appoint agents, those agents work for the charterer's interests, not yours. An OPA ensures your interests as the shipowner are protected throughout the port call.
