Ship chandler. Large companies operating in the port area, supplying ships with food, the necessary supplies for the crew and passengers, and the necessary equipment for the operation and maintenance of the ship. A characteristic feature of these companies is the high level of service provided and the delivery of supplies on board without delay.

Comments: Ship supplies are made in various ports around the world, and for Greek shipping, important orders are made through specialized companies in Greece (Piraeus), representing foreing ship-chandlers’ companies in foreign ports where Greek ships call.
