Cunard’s iconic Queen Mary 2 graced us with her presence in Cape Town this week.

As the appointed ships agents for the vessel, the SGM ships agency team worked fervently to ensure her smooth arrival and departure. Coordinating logistics for a vessel of this scale is no small feat, especially during peak cruise season.

From passenger services to port operations, SGM’s expertise and precision played a vital role in managing this high-profile call. Our involvement underscores the importance of skilled ship agency in maintaining Cape Town’s reputation as a world-class cruise destination.
