Who We Are
Operations don't stop
when the sun goes down.
Afrishore is an integrated marine logistics agency operating from offices in Mossel Bay, Cape Town, Durban, and Walvis Bay. Since 2010, we've supported every stage of offshore exploration and production — from vessel agency and port clearance to crew rotation, customs, chandling, and supply base operations.
We work where global energy operators need local expertise. Our ISO 9001-certified approach, full regulatory compliance, and on-the-ground teams across six ports mean operations move on schedule, regardless of conditions.
