Marine Procurement Services

Marine procurement for ship owners and managers: supplier sourcing, line-by-line quotation comparison and coordinated delivery to the vessel.

Service Overview

Marine Procurement for Ship Owners and Managers

OceanicNova's Marine Procurement Services help ship owners, technical managers and fleet operators source items that are not available from a single supplier. We request quotations from suppliers, compare the offers, and coordinate the order and delivery to your vessel. This service is part of Marine Supplies & Procurement. For standard consumables, see Marine Supplies; for spare parts, see Vessel Spare Parts Supply.

Sourcing on Your Behalf

When a requisition covers several makers or hard-to-find items, we contact suppliers, collect their offers and present them in one comparison, so your team approves a single consolidated order.

Procurement services we can provide.

Strategic Vendor Sourcing

We identify suppliers for the items on your requisition and request their quotations.

Repeat requisitions for consumables, spares or lubricants can be quoted on a regular basis.

RFQ & Order Handling

Line-by-line quotations and price comparisons, with orders placed only after your approval.

Consolidated Delivery

Where items come from several suppliers, we coordinate them into as few deliveries to the vessel as practicable.

Document Requests

Certificates and technical documents you require are requested from suppliers and checked against the order before dispatch.

Single Contact

One contact handles your RFQ from first request to delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our procurement service.

Q1 How does the procurement service work?
You send a requisition; we request quotations from suppliers, compare the offers line by line, and place the order once you approve the consolidated quotation.
Q2 Can I send requisitions in our own format?
Yes. Requisitions exported from your purchasing system, spreadsheets or PDFs can be attached to the Request a Quote form or sent by email.
Q3 How do you ensure the quality of sourced marine equipment and spares?
We check supplier offers against your part numbers, codes and specifications, and request the certificates or documents you specify before the order is placed.
Q4 Do you manage customs clearance for cross-border procurement orders?
Customs and import requirements depend on the delivery country. Tell us the delivery port, and we will confirm the arrangements and any limitations in the quotation.
Q5 How long does a procurement quotation take?
It depends on the number of lines and suppliers involved. We confirm the expected timing when we acknowledge your requisition.
