CLX Logistics Bahamas holds the exclusive Antillean Line ship agency for The Bahamas and acts as agent for partner lines where appointed. We coordinate port call attendance, cargo handling, and inward and outward customs and port filing so your vessel turns around on schedule.
Beyond routine liner calls, we attend one-off tramp vessels, project and charter vessels for heavy lift and oil & gas support, and handle husbandry — crew change, provisions, technical, and bunker coordination — for high-volume commercial principals across the region.

Maritime Support — common questions
What does your standard agency fee actually cover for a liner call?
A routine liner call is $850 USD under our Antillean and partner-line contract rate, and it covers port call attendance plus inward and outward customs and port filing — clearance documentation is included in the agency fee, not billed separately. Third-party port and government charges are passed through with a 2% cash-on-disbursement fee.
We're not on a liner service — can you attend a one-off or tramp vessel call?
Yes. One-off and tramp calls run $2,500–$4,500 USD, quoted per call based on vessel size and scope. Project and charter vessels — heavy lift, oil & gas support, and government cargo — are quoted separately at $4,500–$8,500.
Do you handle husbandry — crew changes, provisions, bunkers?
We coordinate crew change, provisions, technical support, and bunker arrangements end to end, billed at cost plus 15%. If you need crew repatriation, that's $350 per event, with airfare, hotel, and transport arranged at cost plus 10%.
What happens if the vessel is delayed at berth or anchor?
The agency fee covers the scheduled call. Where a berth or anchor delay extends the call beyond 24 hours, standby is billed at $200 USD per day until the vessel sails.
How do disbursements and payment work?
CLX settles third-party port and government charges on your behalf and re-bills them with a 2% cash-on-disbursement fee. Payment is via Charge Anywhere, Fygaro, or bank wire, documents are released against cleared funds, and quotations hold for 30 days from issue.
