Ship Chandlers · Established 2018
Marine supplies, delivered across every Indian port.
Own branches at Chennai, Visakhapatnam, Kakinada and Mumbai — so when an item isn't available where your vessel is berthed, we source it from the port where it is.
About S.K. Marine
A ship chandler built around reach, not a single berth.
S.K. Marine International was set up at Visakhapatnam in 2018 and established activity at major and minor ports of India as a ship supply company, meeting the growing needs of domestic and foreign ship owners.
We are equipped to supply provisions, deck, engine, electrical, life-saving and fire-fighting equipment, navigational aids and other vessel requirements. We also have qualified technicians and skilled staff to attend ship repairs on both deck and engine sides at very short notice.
Our own branches at Chennai, Visakhapatnam, Kakinada and Mumbai — together with supply partners at major and minor Indian ports — let us procure items that aren't available at your port from a branch where they are.

How We Work
From requisition to gangway, without the chasing.
A single process across every port we cover — the same whether your vessel is at Chennai, Vizag, Kakinada, Mumbai or a minor port in between.
-
STEP 01
Send your requisition
IMPA-coded spreadsheet, PDF or your own format — by email or WhatsApp, with vessel, port and ETA.
-
STEP 02
Quotation
We price line by line against your requisition, flag substitutions openly, and confirm what is held locally.
-
STEP 03
Sourcing across the network
Anything not available at your port is procured from one of our other branches or supply partners — this is where the network earns its keep.
-
STEP 04
Delivery on board
Stores delivered to the vessel at the gangway with documentation, and repairs attended alongside where required.
Port Network
Four branches. Both coasts. One supply chain.
Most chandlers work one port. Our own branches sit on both the east and west coasts, which is what makes cross-port sourcing possible.
Schematic — branch ports plotted to true relative coordinates. Not a navigational chart.
- Chennai Head Office
- Visakhapatnam Branch
- Kakinada Branch
- Mumbai Branch
Beyond our own branches — supply partners at major and minor ports across India mean we can attend vessels well outside these four locations. Tell us your port and we will confirm coverage.
Why S.K. Marine
Reasons you can check, not adjectives.
Four ports, not one berth
Own branches at Chennai, Visakhapatnam, Kakinada and Mumbai — on both coasts, not a single-location agent.
Cross-port sourcing
Items unavailable at your port are procured from the branch that holds them, rather than declined off the requisition.
In-house technicians
Qualified technicians and skilled staff attend deck- and engine-side repairs at very short notice.
Complete scope
Eighteen supply and service lines — provisions through safety, navigation and chemicals, to ship repair.
Partner network nationwide
Supply partners at major and minor Indian ports extend coverage well beyond our own four branches.
One accountable supplier
A single point of contact across every port we cover — one quote, one delivery, one line of responsibility.
Certifications
ISO Certificate
