Sheet 04 · Spares and procurement
The right part, the right port.

03 · Delivery
From warehouse to quay
Marine procurement is not finished at the purchase order. Delivery to the right berth, with documents the port accepts, is the part that decides whether the vessel sails on time. See the services page for the procurement and liaison line.
- 1Documents prepared with the shipment
- 2Port and ETA written on the request
- 3Receipt recorded against the job

Spares questions

Marine procurement turns a technical need into a delivered part: identifying the maker and part number, sourcing, quality checks and delivery to the vessel. Nanak Ship Management lists spares, procurement and liaison on its services page.
Include the vessel name, equipment maker and model, part number or drawing reference, quantity, urgency and delivery port with the date. Missing detail causes wrong parts and delays. Our spares builder on this site drafts it, and the Nanak contact page is the next step.
Yes, mark the request as vessel waiting and call or message us, since urgent items are handled by phone first. Delivery depends on the part, the port and customs, which the team will confirm on the procurement service request.
They should. Parts for the next running-hour job can be requested while the job is still weeks away, which avoids rush orders. This is why procurement sits beside planning in the technical management scope.
We route requests to Nanak Ship Management, which handles marine spares and procurement; please state in the request whether you need maker-original parts. The team confirms sourcing options once you send details through the services contact route.
Yes. A squad is most effective when the parts arrive first, so requests can be planned together. Describe the repair and the squad you expect to need through the labour supply team and the spares line in one message.
