Central Dispatch, Inc.

Central Dispatch, Inc. operates as a licensed customs broker from Harvey, Louisiana, strategically positioned to serve the Port of New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico maritime traffic. Established in 1969, the company has built over five decades of expertise handling the specialized customs requirements of the marine and offshore energy sectors.

For importers searching for a customs broker with deep knowledge of oil and gas equipment, drilling machinery, and marine vessel spare parts, Central Dispatch offers focused expertise that general brokers cannot match. Their client base includes oil production companies, exploration and drilling operators, dive support vessels, and construction companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico. This specialization means they understand the unique compliance requirements, product classifications, and time-sensitive nature of offshore operations.

Central Dispatch provides comprehensive import services including customs entry preparation, ISF filing, vessel clearance, and Foreign Trade Zone coordination. Their vessel agent services complement their brokerage operations, allowing them to manage both the maritime arrival procedures and customs clearance of imported cargo in a single workflow. This integrated approach is particularly valuable for companies importing equipment directly to offshore installations or Gulf Coast facilities.

Located in Harvey, just across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Central Dispatch serves one of America's busiest port complexes. The Port of New Orleans handles significant volumes of energy equipment, project cargo, and breakbulk shipments destined for Gulf Coast oil and gas operations. For importers of machinery and equipment, mining materials, or renewable energy components entering through Louisiana ports, Central Dispatch's location provides direct access to customs officials and port facilities.

The company also offers bonded and domestic warehousing, freight forwarding, and crew transportation services, creating a complete logistics solution for maritime and energy sector importers. Their carnet processing capabilities support temporary imports of tools and equipment, while their vessel repair entry expertise facilitates the compliant import of parts and materials for vessel maintenance.
