As a full service international ship chandler we pride ourselves on our “We Can Do It” attitude. No matter the size or content of your order –
you can rely on us to fulfill all your needs for provisions, cabin stores, bonded stores and deck &
engine supplies.
With our own fully-stocked 40,000 sq ft warehouse and contacts with the very best specialty
suppliers and distributors, we’ll not only get your order right – we’ll also
get it to you right on time.
We specialize in quick turn-around orders and while the logistics of running a premier ship chandlers
operation may be daunting to some – with our years of experience we can handle orders for a standard
cargo ship crew right up to a full-sized, fully-booked cruise liner.
We’ve serviced the Queen Elizabeth 2 and the USNS Comfort (providing six and a half
tractor-trailer loads of supplies within 36 hours for its Gulf War tour of duty in 1991), along
with other US Naval vessels including the USNS Seay and USNS Fisher – two of 11 US Navy ships
on long term berth contracts in Baltimore.
We use the internationally recognized Navision Financials integrated software system to track and
fill orders. We’re members of the International Marine Purchasing Assoc and the International
Shipping Suppliers Assoc.
We have a constant Internet connection at our Baltimore headquarters and all new e-mails are checked
immediately. We make the most of today’s instant communications to deliver round-the-clock service
with 24hr delivery, 365 days of the year.
Provisions
For fresh foods, brand name goods and international specialty products we are your one-stop shop.
Our warehouse has a fully stocked freezer and cold rooms and our extensive network of contacts and
suppliers help us to keep thousands of items always available with just moments’ notice. We
know how important it is to keep a crew happy with their favorite meals and comforts.
Cabin Stores
We can always supply day-to-day items plus specialty items that may need to be replaced only once
in a while (if it broke somewhere out by the Azores, just call ahead – we’ll have one
waiting here when you arrive.)
Bonded Stores
Our long-standing connection with Carisam Samuel Meisel (one of this country’s finest and
most experienced duty free goods wholesaler and supplier) allows us to take care not only of
delivery arrangements but also all your paperwork and customs requirements.
Deck & Engine
We use both IMPA and ISSA buying guides and can work from all 6 and 7 digit universal ordering
standard codes.
RS Stern supplies Drew Ashland chemicals and has a large inventory of metric tools. Our stores run
from the proverbial toothpicks to anchors, and absolutely everything in between.
