Your trusted agent on the quay
AMHL — Haitian Shipping & Logistics Agency — was born from a simple observation: in Haiti, the success of a port call depends on the quality of the link between sea and land. Too many players treat the vessel, the port and the final delivery as three separate worlds.
We chose to be the link that unites them: a shipping agent who knows engine rooms as well as customs waiting rooms, and a freight forwarder who knows every road in the country.
Our mission: every vessel we clear sails on time, and every container reaches its consignee in good condition, with proper documents.
