Based in the coastal industrial hub of Chittagong, Sea Life Marine BD operates as a comprehensive maritime support and logistics entity within the Bangladeshi shipping sector. Strategically situated near one of the world's most active ship recycling and port facilities, the company functions primarily as a ship chandler and a specialized trader of marine machinery. Its operations bridge the gap between the local ship-breaking industry and the global fleet of active sailing vessels, providing a circular economy solution for high-value maritime assets.
The company’s core business is divided into direct vessel supply and the export of reclaimed technical equipment. As a ship chandler, Sea Life Marine BD services vessels calling at the major Bangladeshi ports of Chittagong, Mongla, and Payra. The enterprise manages the logistics of delivering essential provisions, including fresh and frozen food, cabin stores, and bonded goods, to ships at berth or anchorage. This division ensures that tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships navigating the Bay of Bengal can replenish their consumable stocks efficiently, supported by a 24/7 logistical framework designed to meet tight port-call schedules.
Beyond general provisions, Sea Life Marine BD maintains a significant footprint in the technical spare parts market. Leveraging its proximity to local demolition yards, the company salvages, refurbishes, and exports a wide array of marine hardware. Their inventory typically encompasses critical components such as main and auxiliary engine spares, hydraulic pumps, turbochargers, and air compressors. The company also deals in specialized automation and navigation equipment, including radar systems and GPS units, which are recovered from decommissioned vessels and verified for reuse in active fleets worldwide.
In addition to supply and trading, the company provides on-site technical services. These include deck and engine maintenance tasks such as chipping, painting, and tank cleaning. The organization also coordinates underwater inspections and repairs, offering a holistic service portfolio for ship owners and management companies. By adhering to international quality and environmental management standards, Sea Life Marine BD supports the operational continuity of maritime traffic in the region, ensuring that vessels receive both the physical supplies and technical components necessary for safe onward voyages.
