SHIPPING AGENT SERVICES
Charterer’s Agent
As ship Charterers we either liaise with intermediaries, or directly with ship owners to arrange the hire or charter of ships to get cargoes to clients by the most cost-effective and timely means. DJ Shipping is therefore in touch with the market to find the most suitable and cost effective transport options.
Sludge Removal
Maingate Shipping assists with safe and effective sludge removal to save your engine for burning due to rapid fouling taking place. We offer this service in all major ports in Kenya.
Hull Inspection & Cleaning
Maingate Shipping specialises in coordinating ship hull and propellor inspection and cleaning. We work with the best companies to perform this work during loading and unloading in order to keep costs to a minimum.

As you know the performance of sonars, speed logs and other hull mounted sensors also gets affected negatively from not cleaning your ship’s hull in a timely manner. A foul-free hull not only optimises vessel performance but it also improves fuel efficiency.
We also recommend regular propeller cleaning for your ship to perform at optimal level. A smooth propeller ensures that organisms can’t form and create a build-up of marine foulin
