You write the requisition. Get it priced before the vessel arrives
Stores, spares, provisions, fresh water, garbage — post the list once for the next port. Verified local suppliers bid sealed, and your office awards on comparable numbers.
The situation
On board, the requisition is the easy part. Then it sits in the office’s inbox, goes to the one supplier everybody already uses, and arrives late, short or at a price nobody can check. The crew lives with whatever comes up the gangway.
Post it here instead, or have your office post it. Every supplier activated at that port gets the same line items at the same moment and answers sealed. The office sees comparable prices side by side and awards — the vessel’s name stays hidden until it does.
How it works for you
01
Your company registers free — or invites you
The company opens one account at no cost and adds the master or chief engineer as a sub-user with their own login. The vessel pays nothing.
02
Post the requisition for the next port
Line items with quantities and units, the port and the ETA. Bidding closes at the vessel’s ETA.
03
The office compares and awards
Sealed bids from the suppliers who actually work that port, priced per unit and comparable line by line.
04
Sign for the delivery on board
The delivery note is signed on board and filed on the order, so what was ordered and what came up the gangway sit on the same record.
What you pay — and don’t
Free for the vessel
—Registration, requisitions and quote comparisons cost nothing, and no commission is charged on anything supplied to the vessel.
Questions buyers ask
- I am a master or chief engineer, not the purchaser — can I use it?
- Yes. The company account stays with the office; they invite you as a sub-user, you post the requisition, and the award stays with whoever approves purchases.
- What does it cost the vessel?
- Nothing: free registration, unlimited requisitions and comparisons, and no commission on anything supplied to the vessel.
