Mentor Shipping Agency (Pty) Ltd. was established in 1976 and became a fully independent company when purchased by Graham Jones, Mentor's Managing Director and Sole Shareholder, in 1993.
With this independence came the urge to give our Principals worldwide a secure home base for them to want to appoint Mentor Shipping as their Agents and therefore the reason for purchasing our own building aptly called "Mentor House" with our Head Office personnel moving in on the 1st November 1994.
Representing, as "Independent Agents", over 200 Principals from around the World, including numerous prominent Ship Owners, Traders, Charterers and Operators; Mentor Shipping Agency, Head Office, is situated in Durban, with offices in Richards Bay, Cape Town, East London, Port Elizabeth and Walvis Bay in Namibia. Our Services include the regular handling of Tankers, Liners, General and Project cargo, Container vessels, numerous Bulk cargoes and Breakbulk carriers, as well as Dry Docking vessels, vessels calling purely for Bunkers, Stores etc and also "Off Port Limits" service; though out our coastline.
The fact that Mentor Shipping has offices in all the major South African ports as well as Walvis Bay has proved to be very beneficial to our Ship Owners, Operators and Traders who feel that it is very important to be able to deal with just one Ships Agency when having to call at more than one S.A. Port and our requirement is that all communications to our Coastal Offices are routed through our Durban Head Office, which ensures that the Principal concerned only has to deal with one office and that our Head Office is kept fully advised throughout the vessels call/s.
Anchor with Mentor Shipping Agency
in all South African Ports and Walvis Bay - Namibia!
