Ensuring the health and safety of seafarers is a top priority in global shipping. Whether it’s a commercial cargo vessel, oil tanker, or offshore platform, every ship operating in Nigerian waters must be adequately equipped with medical provisions to meet international maritime health standards. Procuring medical supplies for ship crew in Nigeria requires reliability, regulatory compliance, and urgency—qualities that Wigmore Trading brings to every delivery.

We specialize in the sourcing and supply of maritime-approved medical kits, pharmaceuticals, and health essentials, helping ship operators, agents, and marine logistics teams meet their onboard medical requirements efficiently and cost-effectively.


Why Medical Supplies Are Critical for Ship Crews

Maritime environments are isolated, high-risk, and often operate far from immediate medical assistance. Onboard medical supplies ensure:

  • Immediate response to injuries or illnesses

  • Compliance with international maritime laws (e.g., ILO/WHO guidelines)

  • Crew well-being during long voyages or offshore operations

  • Support for COVID-19, malaria, and other region-specific health risks

Failure to equip vessels properly can result in regulatory penalties, voyage delays, and compromised safety.

Wigmore Trading offers a comprehensive range of marine-grade medical equipment and consumables, including:

1. Standard Ship Medical Kits

  • ILO/WHO-compliant medical chests (Categories A, B, and C)

  • First aid kits for engine room, bridge, and lifeboats

2. Medications

  • Anti-malarials and motion sickness remedies

  • Gastrointestinal treatments and electrolyte solutions

3. Medical Equipment

4. PPE and Hygiene Kits

All items are properly packaged, labeled, and temperature-controlled where necessary to ensure safety and effectiveness.
