Costa Maritime is an independent, owner-managed maritime services company supporting international owners, charterers and technical managers in Brazil. We bring together ship spares logistics, technical services, ship supply and port agency around the vessel's needs.
Who We Are
Our family maritime roots date to 1952. Costa Maritime Trade & Commerce Ltda was incorporated in 2016 and is the current business in that family tradition, now in its fourth generation. Recife and Suape are our core ports. We mobilize our team across northeastern Brazil and support other Brazilian ports through a vetted partner network.
Costa Maritime is independently owned and owner-managed. Clients have a direct point of contact for the agreed scope, local arrangements and operational updates.
Independent by Design
Independent ownership keeps our management close to the operation. We work with the appointing party to define the scope, responsibilities and reporting for each assignment.
Rooted in Recife and Suape
Recife and Suape are at the centre of our operations. Our service portfolio is available at both ports, with the arrangements confirmed for each vessel, scope and local operating requirements. Across the Northeast we mobilize the Costa Maritime team; elsewhere in Brazil we work through our partner network.
Our Mission
To help international owners and operators plan and carry out their Brazilian port calls by bringing together the services, documentation and local arrangements their vessels need.
Our Vision
To be a trusted maritime services partner for vessels calling Recife, Suape and other Brazilian ports.
What We Stand For
Accountability
Owner-managed escalation gives clients a direct route to the people responsible for the agreed scope and follow-up.
Compliance & Integrity
We work with the documentation and compliance requirements of the assignment, clarifying responsibilities with clients and service providers.
Local Depth
Our work in Recife and Suape connects vessel requirements with local service providers, terminal access and port arrangements.
Responsiveness
Our operations desk is available 24/7 for port-call updates and coordination with the vessel and the parties involved.
Leadership
"Costa Maritime carries a maritime tradition that has been part of my family for generations. My commitment is simple: to give every owner and operator who calls a Brazilian port a partner they can trust completely — independent, accountable, and present at the port, not at a distance."
