Can a vessel receive stores and provisions while transiting the Suez Canal?
Yes. We are ship suppliers in the Suez Canal zone, with our main stores at Port Said at the northern end of the canal and a branch at Suez at the southern end, so northbound and southbound vessels can be supplied at either end of the transit. Send us your requisition with the vessel name, ETA and direction of transit.

How do I send spare parts to a ship in Egypt or in transit through the Suez Canal?
We handle ships' spare parts from arrival in Egypt to delivery on board: receiving the shipment, completing the customs formalities, storage, transport and forwarding to the vessel. Contact us before you dispatch so we can give you the consignment details for your port and ETA.
