Ship Chandling Services

Ship chandling for commercial vessels: crew provisions, bonded stores, and deck, engine and cabin stores coordinated around each port call.

Service Overview

Ship Chandling for Your Port Call

OceanicNova coordinates ship chandling for commercial vessels during their port calls: provisions for the crew, bonded stores, and the deck, engine and cabin stores listed in your requisition. We work from your order list and the vessel's port-call details to arrange supply to the vessel. Ship chandling is part of our Ship Chandling & Vessel Supplies services. For technical items and equipment, see Marine Supplies; for sourcing across several suppliers, see Marine Procurement Services.

Built Around the Port Call

A chandling order depends on the vessel's schedule. Share the port, ETA and ETD, berth or anchorage and the agent's details with your requisition, and we confirm what can be supplied and how delivery to the vessel will be arranged before the order is placed.
