About us
JL Representações
Based in Santos, São Paulo, in Latin America's largest port complex, serving the entire Brazilian coast.
Born in the port
We come from the operation itself: ship agency, foreign trade and ship supply. We know the routine of ETAs, berthing windows and cargo plans.
In-house foreign trade and customs clearance
Our own export, import and customs clearance structure. Product straight from the plant, with no intermediaries in the chain.
Nationwide service
A single commercial contact for the whole fleet, with scheduled logistics for ships, tugs, dredgers, support craft and terminals.

Why Gulf Marine
Six reasons that make the difference
What the owner, the operator and the technical superintendent get before, during and after delivery.
Complete portfolio
From high-BN cylinder oils to EAL biodegradable lubricants: a single supplier covers main engine, auxiliaries, deck and engine room.
Tailored port network
Delivery scheduling designed port by port, with stock positioned along the vessel's route.
Straight on board
Barge, tank truck or palletised cargo placed on board, alongside or at anchor. The product reaches the ship, not the warehouse.
Specialised technical support
Product recommendation by engine, used oil analysis, condition reports and support when changing specification.
Dedicated after-sales
A single contact after supply: consumption tracked, scheduled replenishment and an immediate response to any incident.
Service as the differentiator
Fast quotation, confirmed delivery window and follow-up until receipt, without passing the customer from department to department.
