Loading and unloading solids from cargo ship, a job for exemplary agencies
Positioned as the main bunkering agency in the Strait of Gibraltar, Salama (with a considerable number of years of experience) can speak of the hundreds of thousands of ships it consigned and assisted. Vessels of different shapes and sizes, whose indisputable protagonists are merchant ships, considered the Formula 1 of the sea.
Known as freighters, merchant ships or container ships, these ships are really fast, if we take into account the difference in their size and the number of miles they can travel in an hour, and agile machines with a crucial role: to transport goods and material between ports. This cargo, when considered "solid", can only be managed by a company like Salama.
Only for stevedoring companies
The operation of loading or unloading solids from a ship is considered a highly specialized action that requires stevedoring. This means that only two authorized companies in the city of Ceuta can carry this out, and one of them is Salama.
Our port agency in Ceuta is the only company that, besides being a ship consignee, can act as a stevedoring company. In other words, although the rest of companies can consign a ship, only companies like ours can carry out the operation of loading and unloading a ship. The reason? Its difficulty and a specific handling and stocking technique.
What do we mean by "solid cargo"
Although we mostly see freighter ships transporting the well-known large and coloured containers, a cargo ship can transport much more than those masterfully stacked containers from one port to another.
When talking about solid goods, we are speaking about goods transported in containers (clothes, cleaning products, food, and a long etcetera), large sandboxes or even new vehicles (since it is the only way they can reach our city).
A versatile agency
The fact that we are one of the only two companies in our territory authorized to load and unload solid goods on cargo ships keeps us in the lead once more. In addition to these tasks, Salama is an expert agency specialized in bunkering and crew changes, jobs that define us since our foundation and that have allowed us to be one of the strongest companies in the Strait of Gibraltar.
