Continuous improvement of routes, lead times, and costs through data analysis and innovative solutions. Rapid adaptation to market fluctuations and demand variations to maintain a smooth maritime supply chain.

Pre-Declaration and Port Procedures

Our customs teams anticipate every vessel arrival by preparing all import and export documents in advance. Depending on the port, procedures are completed electronically (via Sydonia, PortNet, OgaPort, etc.) or manually to ensure operational continuity and prevent disruption across maritime flows.

This anticipation accelerates vessel unloading, reduces waiting times, and secures on-time cargo delivery.

Import/Export Declarations and Documentation

We prepare and submit all mandatory customs documentation manifests, bills of lading, certificates of origin, commercial invoices, and special permits in full compliance with international conventions (WCO, IMO, Incoterms 2020) and local maritime corridor regulations.

Our teams ensure full alignment between physical and digital documents, enabling rapid validation by customs and port authorities.

Compliance Control and HS Code Management

Every shipment undergoes a detailed compliance review prior to declaration submission. Our customs specialists verify documentation accuracy, assign precise HS codes for each product, and calculate duties and taxes with full precision.

This preventive approach minimizes tariff errors, penalties, and clearance delays while guaranteeing compliance with all international trade standards.

Port Coordination and Flow Optimization

Port operations are coordinated in real time with customs authorities,shipping lines,freight forwarders, and terminal operators

Each container movement is tracked, validated, and synchronized through MyGANV PortSync to prevent congestion and minimize terminal dwell time.

Our teams maintain continuous communication between quay, customs, and inland transport, ensuring seamless flow and optimal container rotation.

Management of Sensitive and Regulated Cargo

GANV handles all cargo types subject to special supervision — including medical, perishable, hazardous (IMO classes 1–9), and strategic goods. Each shipment follows a strict authorization, documentation, and monitoring process under customs supervision.

We apply international safety and security standards (ISPS, IMDG Code, ADR) to guarantee integrity, compliance, and safety at every stage of maritime transport.

Tracking, Traceability, and Operational Transparency

Through the MyGANV Customs digital ecosystem, every container is monitored in real time from loading to customs release. Dynamic dashboards display customs status, transit times, performance indicators, and compliance alerts.

This end-to-end visibility enables precise operational control, total transparency for clients, and continuous improvement of sea freight performance across the GANV maritime network.

Sea Freight Safety

GANV Group places sea freight safety at the heart of its global operations. Each container follows rigorous procedures compliant with IMDG, SOLAS, and ISPS Code regulations, ensuring full traceability, continuous monitoring, and strict control at departure, transshipment, and arrival ports.

Through detailed inspections, strong port-operation mastery, and proactive coordination with shipping lines, we safeguard the integrity of your cargo from loading to discharge at final terminals.

GANV Sea Protect

GANV Group offers dedicated sea-freight insurance solutions tailored to the nature, value, and destination of your shipments.

Each consignment benefits from personalized coverage, fast and efficient claims management, and preventive measures designed to minimize risks linked to sea conditions, port handling, or long international voyages. Your cargo is protected according to the highest global standards in sea freight logistics.

Quality Control & Sea Compliance

To meet the demanding requirements of sea freight operations, GANV Group applies a comprehensive quality control framework covering every stage of the supply chain.

Our teams perform systematic container inspections (CSC plate, watertightness, sealing), carry out thorough document verification (B/L, manifests, certificates), and enforce strict checks on packaging, loading, weight distribution, and compliance with international sea-transport regulations.

Sea Security

In sea freight, anticipation is essential. GANV Group deploys advanced security protocols aligned with the ISPS Code to prevent, detect, and effectively manage any incident at sea or in port environments.

Our real-time tracking systems instantly detect irregularities such as route deviation, unauthorized opening, seal breakage, weather alerts, transshipment delays, or documentation inconsistencies. If an anomaly is detected, a dedicated response team intervenes promptly in coordination with port authorities, carriers, and terminal operators.
