Handling Ship Spares

Handling Ship Spares refers to the complex process of managing, transporting, and supplying spare parts and equipment required for the maintenance, repair, and operation of ships at sea.  

Shipping companies and vessel operators maintain an inventory of critical spare parts and equipment needed for their fleet. This inventory is carefully managed to ensure that essential items are always available when required. When spare parts are needed, they must be procured promptly. This involves identifying the specific part or equipment required, sourcing it from suppliers or manufacturers, and arranging for its transportation to the designated port or location where the ship is stationed.
