Transparency

Clear, honest information on every operation. No surprises.

Fast response and coordination that saves time and cost.

More than a decade reading the particularities of each stretch.

Closeness

Direct contact and real availability, at any hour.

Frequently asked questions

What shipowners ask us

What does a ship agency like ALMAR do?

We are the vessel's representative ashore while she operates in our area. The shipowner entrusts us with whatever the vessel, the convoy and the crew need in Pilar, Humaitá and Paso de Patria — formalities, crew movements, permits and assistance — without having to send their own staff or deal with each local office.

Which formalities do you handle before the authorities?

Crew list clearance before the Naval Prefecture, supply permits and spare-parts delivery clearances before DNIT (customs), the Prefecture and the port administrations, plus arrival and departure documentation. We follow up every filing until the vessel is cleared to operate.

Do you coordinate crew changes and personnel transfers?

Yes. We handle the embarking and disembarking of crew members and of technicians coming for on-board works, with the corresponding paperwork, and we take care of ground transport for crews throughout the area.

What if a crew member needs medical attention?

We assist them and arrange their care and transport, follow the whole process and keep the shipowner informed at all times. Emergencies are attended at any hour, every day of the year.

Which area do you cover?

The Paraguay and Paraná rivers along the Ñeembucú department, based in Pilar with coverage in Humaitá and Paso de Patria, right on the Paraguay–Paraná Waterway corridor.

How do we request your services?

Via WhatsApp at +595 971 360 672 or by email at avaldz@almarserviciosfluviales.com.py. With the vessel details, the intended operation and the ETA, we prepare a quotation and coordinate everything before arrival.
