Merchant Marine Sales and Service Ltd. is a specialized maritime logistics and technical service provider headquartered in San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago. Since its establishment in 2009, the company has operated as a dedicated partner to the commercial marine and offshore energy sectors, focusing on the procurement of maintenance, repair, and operational (MRO) items. Founded by industry professionals with extensive experience in marine supply, the organization was created to address the complex logistical demands of vessels operating in the Southern Caribbean.
The company’s primary function is to serve as a comprehensive source for marine spares, equipment, and consumables, effectively consolidating the procurement process for ship managers and offshore operators. By managing the supply chain for critical vessel components, the firm aims to reduce the administrative burden and downtime associated with sourcing parts from multiple vendors. Its inventory and sourcing capabilities cover a wide array of categories, including deck and engine stores, safety equipment, and specialized marine chemicals.
Beyond the supply of goods, Merchant Marine Sales and Service Ltd. distinguishes itself through active technical engagement. The company employs a team of marine electrical technicians capable of executing complex repairs, troubleshooting, and installations aboard vessels. These services encompass motor rewinding and wiring upgrades, providing essential support for the electrical integrity of marine assets. This technical arm allows the company to offer integrated solutions that combine physical supply with the skilled labor necessary to install or repair shipboard systems.
In response to regional market shifts, the company has expanded its operational scope to include Guyana, maintaining an office in Georgetown. This strategic presence supports the burgeoning offshore oil and gas industry in the region, allowing the firm to service drillships, platforms, and supply vessels with necessary provisions and technical aid. The organization also focuses on regulatory compliance and environmental safety, offering solutions for gas detection, potable water testing, and sewage effluent monitoring. These offerings assist vessel operators in meeting stringent international standards, such as those set by MARPOL and the Maritime Labour Convention. Through its dual focus on technical repair and logistical supply, Merchant Marine Sales and Service Ltd. facilitates the operational readiness of the regional maritime fleet.
