Based in the bustling port city of Busan, Komasco Korea Marine Supply Co., Ltd. is a prominent maritime service provider specializing in ship chandling and logistics within the South Korean shipping market. Founded in 1990, the company spent over three decades establishing a reputation as one of the region’s largest independent suppliers, catering to a diverse range of merchant vessels, offshore units, and international fleets calling at Korean ports. Its headquarters in Busan places it at the center of a critical maritime hub, allowing for rapid response times and efficient distribution across the peninsula.
The company’s core operations revolve around the comprehensive supply of vessel necessities. This includes the procurement and delivery of fresh and dry provisions, bonded stores, and technical equipment such as deck and engine supplies. Beyond basic consumables, Komasco has developed specialized capabilities in marine logistics, particularly in the handling of ship owners’ goods and spare parts. By managing the complex "last mile" delivery of critical components from manufacturers to vessels, the company supports the technical continuity of shipping operations, ensuring that spare parts reach ships during their limited port stays.
In 2024, Komasco Korea Marine Supply Co., Ltd. underwent a significant transformation by integrating into the global network of Wrist Ship Supply, a major international ship supplier. This development marked a new chapter in the company’s history, merging its deep local expertise and established infrastructure in South Korea with a worldwide procurement and logistics system. Through this integration, the company expanded its capacity to serve global clients while retaining its operational foothold in key ports such as Ulsan, Incheon, and Pohang.
The organization maintains substantial warehousing facilities, including temperature-controlled storage, to ensure the quality of food and technical inventory. Its service model is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the modern shipping industry, operating around the clock to accommodate vessel schedules that often change on short notice. Today, Komasco continues to function as a vital link in the maritime supply chain, bridging the gap between global shipping requirements and the specific logistical landscape of South Korea.
