Tasnim Marine Services operates as a multifaceted maritime support provider, catering to the diverse needs of ocean-going vessels calling at the region’s major harbors. Since commencing operations in 2007, the company has developed a service portfolio that bridges the gap between traditional ship chandling and specialized technical engineering. Its strategic location near the Port of Chittagong, a critical hub for South Asian trade, allows the firm to deploy logistics and support teams rapidly to vessels at berth or anchorage in both Chittagong and Mongla.
The company’s core business centers on ship chandling, where it functions as a primary provider of essential provisions and consumable stores. This division manages the supply of fresh, frozen, and dry food stocks, ensuring that crews are adequately provisioned for long voyages. Beyond sustenance, the organization supplies a wide array of deck, engine, and cabin stores, ranging from cleaning materials to heavy-duty maintenance tools. These logistical operations are designed to meet tight turnaround times, acknowledging the commercial pressures faced by vessel operators who require prompt restocking during brief port calls.
Distinct from standard provisioning, Tasnim Marine Services plays a significant role in the maritime circular economy through its involvement in the ship recycling sector. Leveraging the resources available in the local ship breaking industry, the company sources, reconditions, and trades second-hand marine machinery and spare parts. This technical division exports varying categories of equipment, including propulsion components, turbochargers, auxiliary engines, and hydraulic systems, to buyers across Asia and Europe. By reclaiming high-value navigation and communication electronics from decommissioned vessels, the firm provides cost-effective alternatives for ship owners seeking replacement parts for older fleets.
In addition to supply and trading, the organization maintains a technical workshop focused on ship repair and maintenance. Their engineering teams execute a variety of tasks, including hull and tank renewal, electric motor rewinding, and automation repairs. These capabilities extend to afloat services, allowing technicians to board vessels and perform necessary troubleshooting on radar systems, gyro compasses, and other critical bridge equipment without requiring dry-docking. Through this integration of logistics, technical supply, and engineering support, Tasnim Marine Services functions as a comprehensive partner for the international shipping community operating within the Bay of Bengal.
