International ship spare parts often arrive in Las Palmas from manufacturers, suppliers, courier companies and freight forwarders outside Spain. For the vessel operator, receiving the package is only part of the job. Customs clearance, transit procedures, documentation and final delivery must also be coordinated.

Our ship spare parts customs clearance service in Las Palmas provides local agency support for shipowners, ship managers, masters, technical superintendents and vessel operators.

We coordinate the local process between the shipment, customs-related parties, logistics providers and the vessel.

CUSTOMS SUPPORT FOR MARINE SPARE PARTS

Ship spare parts can be time-sensitive, particularly when they are required for engine repairs, machinery maintenance or technical work during a short port stay.

Our role is to coordinate the required customs and logistics process with the relevant parties and help move the shipment towards final vessel delivery.

The exact customs treatment depends on the shipment, documentation, origin, destination and applicable regulations. We therefore coordinate with the appropriate customs professionals rather than making assumptions about the required procedure.

DOCUMENTATION AND SHIPMENT CONTROL

Correct documentation is important for avoiding unnecessary delays.

We coordinate with the supplier, courier or freight forwarder regarding shipment information and communicate the relevant details to the parties handling the local process.

Shipment tracking is also important. The vessel's ETA and departure schedule are considered when planning the customs and delivery operation.

FROM CUSTOMS TO THE VESSEL

Customs clearance is not the end of the operation.

Once the shipment is released or otherwise ready for onward movement, local transport and vessel delivery must be arranged.

We coordinate the movement from the relevant arrival or handling point to the vessel, including local transportation, port access and delivery arrangements.

Where operationally feasible, delivery can also be coordinated for vessels at anchorage.

FAST AND COST-EFFICIENT AGENCY

Our objective is to prevent spare parts from becoming unnecessarily expensive or delayed because of poor local coordination.

We provide one local agency contact who can coordinate customs-related logistics, transportation and final vessel delivery.

This saves time for shipowners and managers who would otherwise need to communicate separately with couriers, customs representatives, warehouses and transport companies.
