Coast to Coast International Marine Services

Coast to Coast International Marine Services operates as a specialized ship supplier and logistics provider within the North American maritime sector, focusing primarily on the Northeastern seaboard of the United States. Established in 1995 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the organization has evolved from a local provisioning firm into a comprehensive marine support entity. While its roots are in Philadelphia, the company later expanded its physical infrastructure, relocating its headquarters and primary warehousing facilities to Westville, New Jersey. This strategic move to a larger distribution center allowed the firm to scale its inventory capabilities and better serve the complex logistics of the Delaware River port community and beyond. The company functions fundamentally as a ship chandler, a critical intermediary in the global shipping supply chain responsible for ensuring vessels are fully stocked and operational upon departure. Its core business activities encompass the procurement, management, and delivery of a wide array of marine goods. These supplies range from essential fresh and frozen food provisions for crew welfare to technical necessities such as deck and engine stores, cabin equipment, and electrical parts. The organization also manages bonded stores, navigating the specific customs regulations required to deliver duty-free goods to international vessels. Beyond traditional chandlery, Coast to Coast International Marine Services has adapted its operations to address the evolving environmental and technical mandates of the modern shipping industry. The company has developed a distinct focus on environmental solutions, specifically the supply of marine-grade chemicals required for vessel compliance. This includes the bulk delivery of urea and caustic soda, which are essential agents used in exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers) to reduce emissions. Logistically, the firm serves a broad network of ports across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, covering terminals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Baltimore, and New York. By integrating warehousing, freight forwarding, and "last-mile" delivery services, the company supports ship owners and vessel management agencies in maintaining operational readiness. Its role extends to ship husbandry and coordination, acting as a logistical partner that manages the intricate timing of delivering supplies during brief and often unpredictable port calls. Through these varied operations, the company maintains a continuous link between land-based supply chains and the seagoing merchant fleet.
