Based in New Delhi, India, SAF Global Maritime Private Limited operates as a specialized logistics and freight forwarding entity dedicated to the marine and shipping industries. Incorporated in 2020, the company was established to address the complex supply chain requirements of ship owners, ship management companies, and marine equipment suppliers. Unlike generalist transport providers, the firm focuses on the time-critical nature of maritime operations, ensuring that vessels receive essential components and technical provisions without costly delays.
The core of the company’s operations lies in the management and forwarding of ship spares and marine stores. Vessels constantly require replacement parts, machinery, and consumables to maintain seaworthiness and operational efficiency. SAF Global Maritime Private Limited bridges the gap between global manufacturers and ships at port, executing what is known in the industry as "door-to-deck" delivery. This service model encompasses the entire logistics chain, starting from the collection of goods at a warehouse or factory, moving through international freight channels, and concluding with final delivery directly on board the vessel.
To support these activities, the company functions as a Multimodal Transport Operator, utilizing a combination of air, sea, and land transport to optimize transit times and costs. Air freight is frequently utilized for urgent technical spares, while sea and road networks support larger consignments. The organization manages the intricate regulatory procedures associated with marine logistics, including customs clearance and port documentation, which are essential for moving transit cargo through Indian and international borders smoothly.
While headquartered in the capital city of New Delhi, SAF Global Maritime Private Limited maintains operational capabilities across major Indian seaports and utilizes a network of global associates to handle shipments worldwide. Their infrastructure allows them to consolidate shipments from various suppliers, offering warehousing solutions that enable ship managers to coordinate bulk deliveries. By focusing on the specific demands of the offshore and shipping sectors, the company plays a supportive role in maritime maintenance, helping operators minimize vessel downtime and maintain continuous sailing schedules through reliable supply chain execution.
