What Is Vessel Chandling?

Vessel chandling refers to the supply of essential items and services to ships during port calls or offshore operations. These include:

• Provisions: Fresh produce, dry stores, bottled water, and beverages

• Technical supplies: Engine parts, tools, lubricants, and fuel additives

• Deck and engine stores: Cleaning materials, ropes, safety gear, and PPE

• Cabin equipment: Galley supplies, bedding, and sanitary items

Reliable chandlers ensure vessels receive supplies on time—helping them stay compliant, efficient, and operational.

Why Mombasa Port Requires Expert Chandling Support

Located on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, Mombasa Port serves not just Kenya, but landlocked nations like Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, and eastern DRC. It’s a critical node for:

• Transit cargo and container traffic

• Offshore energy exploration in the Lamu Basin

• Bulk imports of fuel, grain, and building materials

With its growing role in East African maritime logistics, fast and compliant vessel chandling is more important than ever.
