Mer Service is a specialized maritime support and logistics company based in Poland, recognized for combining traditional ship chandling with advanced technical engineering capabilities. Established in February 2010, the company was founded by two industry professionals, Mateusz and Rafał, who sought to create an agile service provider capable of addressing the complex demands of vessels visiting the Baltic region. The company’s name serves as a nod to this partnership, deriving from the founders' first initials. Over the years, the organization has evolved from a local supplier into a multifaceted maritime service entity, operating extensively across all major Polish ports, including Gdynia, Gdańsk, Szczecin, and Świnoujście.
While the company’s origins lie in the ship chandling sector—supplying merchant vessels with provisions, bonded stores, and deck engine consumables—its identity is strongly defined by its expansion into technical repairs and specialized installations. Unlike standard suppliers that focus solely on logistics, Mer Service maintains a dedicated technical division equipped to handle demanding engineering tasks during port calls. This dual approach allows ship operators to consolidate their supply chain and maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and administrative complexity during tight port schedules.
A primary area of the company’s technical expertise involves the fabrication and installation of piping systems, with a specific focus on Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) pipes. These specialized materials are critical for modern marine environmental systems, such as scrubbers and ballast water treatment units. The company deploys skilled technicians to conduct surveys, maintenance, and installations of these systems, directly supporting shipowners in meeting international compliance standards. Additionally, the firm employs teams of certified welders and pipe fitters capable of executing repairs on hulls, tanks, and structural components using various steel grades.
Beyond mechanical work, the organization provides electrical repair services, addressing faults in shipboard power and automation systems. The company also facilitates essential port services such as laundry and fire safety system inspections, further embedding itself into the operational cycle of visiting vessels. Through strategic cooperation with international partners, including specialized engine repair firms in the United Kingdom, Mer Service has extended its technical reach, ensuring that vessels receive comprehensive support whether they are docking for routine supplies or requiring urgent technical intervention in the Polish maritime sector.
