Major importers of these products we consider regular principals. This dry cargo section also has a vast experience in dealing with car carriers, reefers and vessels transporting project cargoes. With our agency activities we provide the interface between shippers, transport providers and receivers. Hub Agencies Over the years, ship owners, operators and charterers who are mostly operating on a worldwide basis, have built an extensive network of agents in a great number of ports in many different countries. All these countries, ports and agents have their peculiarities in respect of procedures, tariffs and submitting Disbursement Accounts (D/A's). This variety of information is increasingly hard to manage especially where it concerns keeping the port and tariff information up-to-date. Also the exploration of possibilities for cost reduction and the follow-up of developments in an ever-increasing competitive market are difficult to manage. Since a number of years Vopak Agencies Rotterdam B.V. acts as Hub Agent for Shell International Trading and Shipping Ltd., Teekay Shipping, Chevron, Exmar and Smit International. As Hub Agent, we relieve our principals of the strenuous task of managing an agency network.
