Ship supply at Merca

No ship chandler has activated Merca yet. The nearest port where a ship chandler is activated is Mogadishu (SOMGQ), 73 km away by great circle. A requirement posted here — provisions, bonded stores and deck, engine and cabin stores, each line an IMPA-coded catalogue item or a specified manual item with its unit — still counts: it alerts the sourcing desk, which recruits for Merca in the order requirements arrive, and the first ship chandler to activate the port takes its requests uncontested.

Bunkering & fresh water at Merca

No bunker or water supplier has activated Merca yet. The nearest port where a bunker or water supplier is activated is Port Said (EGPSD, EG), 3,537 km away by great circle. A requirement posted here — bunkers by grade and fresh water, in tonnes or cubic metres, normalised so the offers compare — still counts: it alerts the sourcing desk, which recruits for Merca in the order requirements arrive, and the first bunker or water supplier to activate the port takes its requests uncontested.
