Seven Seas Group is a specialized maritime services organization dedicated to the global ship supply and logistics industry. Established in 1971, the company has evolved from a traditional ship chandling business into a comprehensive maritime solutions provider, supporting the operational continuity of vessels worldwide. Headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the group coordinates a vast international network that spans key shipping hubs across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, and Africa.
The core of the company’s identity lies in its role as a ship supplier, often referred to within the industry as a ship chandler. In this capacity, Seven Seas Group functions as a single-source provider for the myriad necessities required to keep a vessel seaworthy and habitable. Its operations encompass the procurement and delivery of general ship supplies, including fresh and dry provisions for crew sustenance, bonded stores, and technical equipment. Beyond basic consumables, the group manages the supply of deck and engine stores, cabin equipment, and essential spare parts, ensuring that marine engineers and deck officers have immediate access to critical hardware.
To support these complex deliveries, the company maintains a robust logistics infrastructure. Seven Seas Group integrates warehousing, customs clearance, and freight forwarding into its service architecture. By managing the supply chain from the point of sourcing to the "last mile" delivery at the port, the organization mitigates the logistical challenges associated with servicing transient vessels. This operational model allows the group to offer third-party (3PL) and fourth-party (4PL) logistics solutions, streamlining the flow of goods for ship owners and management companies.
The group serves a diverse portfolio of maritime sectors. Its client base includes operators of merchant vessels, such as container ships and tankers, as well as the offshore energy sector, where timely supply is critical for oil and gas platforms. Additionally, the company provides specialized support to the cruise industry, navy fleets, and fishing vessels. Through its strategic expansion and the integration of various maritime service entities, Seven Seas Group acts as a central link in the global maritime supply chain, focusing on efficiency and the reduction of vessel downtime.
