At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we specialize in providing marine customs services that address these challenges and deliver tangible value to your operations.

Downtime for offshore vessels can be extremely costly. That’s why we specialize in the logistics of ship spares, whether delivered onboard, in-transit, or in-country. Our fast-tracked customs clearance process ensures critical spares reach offshore platforms and ships without delay, helping you maintain uninterrupted operations.
