ShipChandler Lome

ShipChandler Lome delivers complete ship chandling, vessel supply and marine purchasing support to merchant ships arriving at the port, its terminals and the nearby anchorage. Our team at ShipChandler Lome serves owners, managers, operators, masters, chief engineers, purchasing teams, superintendents and port agents who need dependable supplies in the short window of a port call.

At ShipChandler Lome, the goal is simple: one trusted contact for almost everything a ship needs. Fresh food, bonded goods, deck and engine stores, cabin and galley items, safety gear, electrical materials, chemicals, tools, spares and urgent technical requirements can all be handled by ShipChandler Lome, with sourcing and delivery planned around the vessel's ETA, berth, anchorage and working schedule.

Speed of communication matters in vessel supply. That is why ShipChandler Lome concentrates on quick RFQ replies, transparent quotations, accurate product identification, sensible alternatives when an item is not available and smooth coordination with the ship or its agent. Sending requisitions early is always best, yet ShipChandler Lome also handles short-notice orders whenever local stock and port conditions allow.

Professional Ship Supply Services by ShipChandler Lome

ShipChandler Lome supports a broad range of commercial and merchant vessels. We review each order against the ship's real needs, specifications, quantities and requested delivery time, aiming to lighten the load on the purchasing team by bringing several store categories together in one organised supply.

Requisitions are welcome as Excel, PDF or Word files, or in any other common format. Adding IMPA and ISSA codes, maker names, model numbers, photos, drawings and technical data helps ShipChandler Lome pick the right products first time.

Our range at ShipChandler Lome runs from everyday consumables to urgent and non-standard items. If a particular brand cannot be found, ShipChandler Lome will suggest an equivalent for your approval before anything is delivered.
