A humble human team with a different vision of the traditional maritime agency model and with over 15 years of experience in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean.
AGOSTO is a “boutique green” company with a different value proposition for the maritime industry, through market leading services and support, developing new opportunities in maritime digitalization while following the international regulations for zero‑emission shipping.
We are the only green agency in the Caribbean turning ship waste into sustainability.
Ships agency work is our passion not only for providing an innovative and unique service in the Caribbean to the shipping community but also in the social component, transparency, value and ethics.
AGOSTO focuses on giving people the opportunity to be part of a project that goes beyond work, to improve the lives of the participants, their families and the surrounding environment while combatting that inequality and lack of opportunities which is more evident in these latitudes.

Environment
Our company is encouraging the different local vendors and government entities to follow the international regulations, our principals’ protocols, and promptly report regulatory changes and their impact on owners and charterers.
Social
Our aim is to develop a rescue NGO program “Coast and Beach Safety Matters” supporting coastal communities—teaching swimming, promoting education, creating jobs, and improving beach safety.
Governance Work
The human component plays a leading role in the Caribbean given the great economic and social disparity that exists in the developing economies, and it is something we are passionate about and personally committed to.
Talent, innovation, leadership are inimitable and innate to each person, and Agosto’s leadership of its people/team will be directly reflected in its services and success towards transparency, ethics, morality and honesty.
Fraudulent, corrupt and/or collusive practices are contrary to Agosto’s core values. Zero tolerance for such practices because we recognize the adverse effects on our customers’ and our own operations.
