American Shipping and Chartering was established in 1980 as a Houston, Texas steamship agency to supplement the chartering and logistics services offered by their Principals. Experience, reliability and extensive knowledge of port and stevedoring operations in all major U.S., Canadian as well as Mexican ports made our agency department the preferred choice of many ship owners and operators, in the capacity of both Local and General Agents.

In addition to normal ship husbanding services, we have excellent relations with stevedores, Port and Government Authorities, Terminal Operators and a host of other vendors. This enables us to offer our Principals and clients not only first class service and quickest possible turnaround times, but also to obtain the most economical services available.

American Shipping and Chartering handles about 150 vessel port calls annually, each of which is attended to with utmost care and the unique personal attention our Principals and their crews deserve.

We will be happy to assist with your port calls in the U.S. Gulf Region. For further assistance please contact the below address, or fill out the form and your request will be processed within 24 hours.
