Marine spare parts supply — tasks for suppliers and traders
Marine spare parts are what keeps every mechanism on a vessel running. Timely supply of a genuine or quality alternative part determines whether a vessel sails on schedule or is laid up indefinitely. The Steel Water task board publishes tasks for supplying spare parts for main and auxiliary engines, pumps, systems, deck equipment and electronics — from a single gasket to major components.
Tasks are posted by shipowners, shipping companies, technical managers, ship repair yards, shipyards and supply companies. Contractors are marine spare parts suppliers, traders, authorised dealers, manufacturers, warehouses and logistics companies.

What matters for spare parts suppliers
Spare parts supply is work where speed, reliability and logistics are critical. When responding to a task, specify: availability in stock or lead time on order, ability to offer genuine and alternative parts with prices, availability of certificates (manufacturer, class, origin), delivery timeline and route to port, readiness to handle freight and export-import documentation, warranty on the supplied part. If the task is urgent — confirm the ability to ship immediately (air, DHL, courier).
Documents and compliance
All supplied spare parts are accompanied by a packing list, invoice and, where required, a certificate of origin, certificate of quality or classification society approval. For critical components (engines, steering gear, safety systems), confirmation from the manufacturer or shipowner is often required. If you have experience with such requirements — mention it in your response.
