Aidi Brothers is a long-standing maritime service provider and general ship supplier based in Tunisia, recognized for its extensive operational footprint across North Africa’s Mediterranean coast. With a commercial heritage dating back to its foundation in 1936, the company has evolved from a local entity into a comprehensive logistics partner for the international shipping and offshore industries. Over nearly a century of operations, it has developed a robust infrastructure designed to meet the diverse requirements of merchant vessels, cruise liners, and industrial projects operating within Tunisian territorial waters.
Headquartered in Sfax, a major hub for commerce and fishing, the company orchestrates a wide network of branch offices and supply depots that ensure coverage for every commercial port in the country. Its logistical reach extends to key maritime gateways including La Goulette, Rades, Bizerta, Menzel Bourguiba, Sousse, Gabes, and Zarzis. Beyond standard port calls, Aidi Brothers is actively involved in supporting the offshore energy sector, delivering essential supplies to oilfields and platforms situated off the Tunisian coast. This dual focus on harbor-based logistics and offshore support allows the firm to serve a broad spectrum of maritime traffic, ranging from cargo ships and tankers to specialized support vessels.
The core of the company’s operations revolves around its role as a general ship chandler. It facilitates the procurement and delivery of a vast array of goods required for vessel sustainment. This includes fresh and frozen provisions to support crew welfare, as well as bonded stores and cabin supplies. On the technical side, Aidi Brothers manages the supply of deck and engine stores, ensuring that ships have access to necessary maintenance materials, tools, and spare parts while alongside or at anchorage.
In addition to physical supplies, the company provides critical technical services aimed at vessel safety and compliance. These capabilities include the inspection and servicing of safety equipment and life rafts, helping vessel operators maintain adherence to international safety standards. The firm also handles environmental services such as sludge removal, further integrating itself into the essential support ecosystem of the region’s maritime trade. By combining provision supply with technical engineering support, Aidi Brothers functions as a single-source solution for vessels navigating the strategic trade routes of the central Mediterranean.
