Viet Stars Marine-Tourist Co., LTD is a distinct entity within the Vietnamese maritime support sector, functioning primarily as a comprehensive ship chandler and marine service provider. Established in 2008 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, the company has developed an operational footprint that extends across the country's major commercial ports. Its business model integrates essential logistical supply with specialized technical support, catering to the diverse needs of merchant vessels, offshore units, and international crews calling at Vietnamese harbors.
The company’s operations are designed to ensure that vessels remain fully stocked and technically sound while in transit or docked. It serves a wide network of strategic maritime hubs, including the bustling ports of Ho Chi Minh City, the northern industrial gateway of Hai Phong, and key specialized terminals such as Phu My and Go Dau. Through this extensive geographic reach, the firm acts as a reliable partner for ship operators navigating the complex logistics of Southeast Asian trade routes, ensuring that supplies and services are delivered promptly regardless of the vessel’s location along the coast.
At the core of its portfolio is ship chandling, where the company provisions ships with a vast array of necessary goods. This includes maintaining the endurance of the vessel through the supply of fresh, frozen, and dry provisions, as well as bonded stores. Beyond sustenance, the company supports the technical readiness of fleets by sourcing deck, engine, and cabin stores. Its inventory management encompasses critical operational equipment, ranging from navigational charts and publications to electrical tools and safety gear, ensuring compliance with international maritime standards.
Distinct from standard suppliers, Viet Stars Marine-Tourist Co., LTD also incorporates a technical service division capable of executing essential maintenance tasks. Its teams handle ship repairs, machinery fabrication, and specialized underwater works such as diving inspections and hull cleaning. Furthermore, true to the "Tourist" element of its name, the company provides welfare services for seafarers, organizing sightseeing and shopping excursions for crew members during shore leave. This blend of technical capability, logistical supply, and hospitality establishes the company as a multifaceted support hub within Vietnam’s maritime industry.
