Bandar Marine Services runs out of Chittagong, Bangladesh, right next to one of the biggest ship-breaking yards in the world. That location alone gives them access to a massive inventory of ship machinery, which they’ve turned into their core business - supplying used and unused spares to shipowners and repair teams who need working parts fast and without the usual hassle.
They deal in just about everything you’d find on board - main engine parts, auxiliary units, pumps, turbochargers, compressors, even full diesel generators. Most of what they stock comes straight off ships being dismantled nearby. What’s different is that they don’t just flip the parts - everything gets inspected and serviced by people who actually know what they’re doing. If something needs a full reconditioning, they’ve got the tools and the techs for that too.
But they’re not just a parts shop. Bandar Marine also handles the dirty work - engine repairs, crankpin jobs, HP fuel pump calibration, and even pipe fabrication when needed. They’ve also got the setup to test and certify pressure vessels for gases like CO₂ and oxygen, which is a rare find in their part of the world.
And then there’s the local service side - if a ship calls at Chittagong or Mongla, Bandar can supply provisions, bonded stores, or step in with whatever’s needed while the crew’s alongside.
They’re not flashy, but they’re solid. And for a lot of shipowners, that’s exactly the kind of company you want in your corner.
