Sayem Marine Services functions as a maritime logistics and technical support enterprise, operating primarily within the West African shipping sector. Headquartered in Nigeria, the company serves as a ship chandler, technical supplier, and service provider for vessels calling at major regional ports, including Apapa, Tin-Can Island, and Port Harcourt. Its operational footprint extends to both inshore and offshore environments, catering to the needs of commercial shipping, offshore support vessels, and the broader marine industry.
The company’s core business revolves around the comprehensive supply of ship stores and technical equipment. As a general ship supplier, it provides vessels with essential deck, engine, and cabin stores, ranging from heavy machinery parts and electrical spares to consumable provisions and bonded stores. Beyond simple procurement, the company facilitates fresh water supply and manages logistics for transferring goods to vessels at berth or anchorage. This supply chain capability allows the firm to support the day-to-day operational continuity of merchant fleets moving through the Gulf of Guinea.
In addition to supply logistics, Sayem Marine Services maintains a strong focus on marine safety and technical maintenance. It operates as a safety servicing station, authorized to inspect, maintain, and certify critical Life Saving Appliances (LSA) and Fire Fighting Appliances (FFA). This technical division handles the servicing of life rafts, life jackets, immersion suits, and portable fire extinguishers, ensuring that client vessels remain compliant with international maritime safety regulations. The company also supplies pyrotechnics and other emergency signaling equipment required for vessel certification.
The firm’s service portfolio further includes bunkering operations, where it arranges the supply of marine fuels and lubricants to ships. It also acts in a ship agency capacity, offering protective agency services and crew welfare support. By integrating technical safety inspections with general chandling and fuel supply, Sayem Marine Services functions as a multi-disciplinary support hub for the West African maritime market, addressing the logistical, technical, and regulatory requirements of visiting and resident vessels.
