Abu Udo Marine Services is a West African maritime logistics and technical support provider headquartered in Lomé, Togo. Established in late 2020, the company has developed a service portfolio designed to support vessel operations within the Gulf of Guinea, a critical maritime hub for shipping and offshore energy activities. The firm operates primarily as a ship chandler, port agency, and technical engineering partner, catering to the diverse needs of commercial fleets, including tankers, liner vessels, and offshore support units calling at Togolese ports and the surrounding region.
The company’s core operational mandate involves ensuring the continuity of vessel performance through a multi-disciplinary approach. As a general ship supplier, Abu Udo Marine Services manages the procurement and delivery of essential provisions, including fresh, frozen, and dry foodstuffs, as well as bonded stores and cabin supplies. This logistical capability extends to the supply of deck and engine stores, where the firm delivers technical components, tools, and consumables required for daily shipboard maintenance and safety compliance.
Beyond logistical supply, the company maintains a strong focus on technical engineering and repair services. Its technical department oversees a range of maintenance activities, offering consultancy and supervision for both afloat repairs and dry-docking projects. The scope of technical work includes diesel engine overhauls, electrical equipment servicing, and the repair of auxiliary machinery such as air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Additionally, the company coordinates underwater services, including hull inspections and cleaning, to assist vessel operators in maintaining fuel efficiency and regulatory compliance while in transit or at berth.
Abu Udo Marine Services also functions as a port agent and third-party manager, facilitating smooth vessel interface with local port authorities. This role encompasses the coordination of bunkering operations, ensuring vessels receive necessary fuel supplies efficiently. The firm serves a broad client base that includes ship owners, managers, and oil and gas operators, acting as a local partner that bridges the gap between international shipping standards and regional operational requirements. Through its integration of supply chain management, technical supervision, and port agency work, the company supports the maritime infrastructure essential for trade flow through the West African coast.
