Based in Port Said, Silver Sea Marine Services & Supplier functions as a dedicated maritime logistics and support entity within the Egyptian shipping sector. Established in the early 1990s following the merger of two existing ship supply firms, the company has evolved into a comprehensive marine service provider. It operates strategically near the Suez Canal, a vital artery for global trade, allowing it to service vessels transiting between the Mediterranean and Red Seas as well as those calling at major Egyptian commercial ports.
The company’s primary operations center on ship chandling, a critical maritime trade that involves supplying vessels with essential commodities. Silver Sea Marine Services & Supplier maintains a robust inventory system to provision ships with a wide array of goods, ranging from fresh food and bonded stores to technical equipment. Its logistical infrastructure allows for the delivery of deck, engine, and cabin stores, ensuring that merchant fleets remain stocked and operational during their voyages. Beyond basic provisioning, the company manages complex supply chains involving safety equipment, nautical charts, and chemical supplies necessary for vessel maintenance.
In addition to physical supplies, the enterprise acts as a shipping agency and logistical partner. This role involves coordinating port calls, managing customs clearance for spare parts, and facilitating crew changes. The company maintains branch offices in key maritime hubs, including Suez, Alexandria, and Damietta, ensuring coverage across the entirety of Egypt’s coastal and canal waters. This network enables the firm to provide rapid response services to ships requiring immediate technical stores or emergency repairs while navigating the Suez Canal.
Silver Sea Marine Services & Supplier also extends its capabilities to the offshore sector, supporting oil and gas projects with specialized equipment and marine contracting work. Its operations are underpinned by adherence to international quality and safety management standards, aligning its services with the rigorous demands of global shipping associations. By integrating general supply duties with specialized technical support - such as motor rewinding, underwater inspections, and waste disposal - the company serves as a singular point of contact for shipowners and operators navigating the complex regulatory and logistical landscape of Egyptian waters.
