Vistamar Ltd

Vistamar Ltd is a specialized maritime service provider and general ship supplier based in Bulgaria, recognized for its dual focus on technical safety compliance and vessel provisioning. Established in 1991 by Captain Stayko Staev, the company began as a family-owned enterprise and has since evolved into a key operational partner for vessels calling at the major Black Sea ports of Burgas and Varna. Through decades of development, it has integrated technical expertise with logistics, ensuring that commercial shipping clients receive both essential stores and critical safety certifications in a single port call. The company’s core identity revolves around its role as an authorized service station for Marine Life-Saving (LSA) and Fire-Fighting Equipment (FFE). Unlike standard chandlers that primarily trade goods, Vistamar Ltd operates modern technical facilities equipped to inspect, repair, and certify vital safety gear. Their technical division manages the maintenance of inflatable life rafts, lifeboats, davits, and winches, ensuring equipment functions correctly during emergencies. Furthermore, the company maintains approved laboratories for testing gas detectors and analyzing foam compounds, adhering to strict international maritime conventions and classification society standards. Beyond its technical capabilities, Vistamar Ltd functions as a comprehensive ship chandler. The company supplies a broad array of provisions, bonded stores, and technical spare parts to merchant vessels. This logistical arm allows them to cater to the daily operational needs of crews, delivering everything from fresh food to deck and engine consumables. Their operations are supported by a dedicated vehicle fleet and mobile service units, which enable rapid response and direct delivery to ships alongside piers in Bulgarian harbors. The organization maintains a strong commitment to quality management and environmental responsibility, evidenced by its long-standing adherence to ISO standards for quality and environmental systems. While deeply rooted in the local maritime infrastructure of Burgas and Varna, the company serves an international clientele, acting as a representative and service point for global manufacturers of marine safety systems. This combination of local logistical dominance and technical accreditation defines Vistamar Ltd’s standing as a versatile support entity within the Black Sea maritime sector.
