Canal and straits coordination for smoother voyage planning. Supporting transit documentation, local agent coordination and operational updates through trusted partners.
STT Agencies supports ship owners, operators and managers with canal and straits transit coordination through trusted local partners. We help coordinate the practical arrangements required for smooth transit, including documentation, local agency support and operational communication.
Canal and straits transits require accurate preparation, timely updates and reliable coordination between the vessel, owner or operator, local agents and relevant authorities. STT Agencies acts as your coordinating point of contact, helping you stay informed before, during and after the transit.
Transit coordination through trusted local partners
Through our trusted partner network, STT Agencies can assist with local agent coordination, transit documentation support, pre-arrival information, operational updates, cost estimate coordination and voyage support before or after port calls. Our role is to help keep the process clear, organized and well-communicated.
Key transit areas
Depending on the vessel’s route and requirements, canal and straits support may include key transit areas such as the Suez Canal, Panama Canal, Turkish Straits, Kiel Canal, Danish Straits and the Bosporus/Dardanelles. We coordinate with local partners where required to help owners, operators and managers arrange the necessary transit support.
Connected to port agency support
Canal and straits transit support can be combined with wider port agency services before or after the passage. For vessels calling at Dutch and Belgian ports, STT Agencies can also support port services, husbandry, bunker coordination, protective agency and other local requirements through one coordinating contact.

With experience since 1991, we deliver reliable, efficient, and flexible port agency services, combining local expertise in Vlissingen, Terneuzen and several Belgian ports with proactive, personal support.
