Ship Chandling

Everything Your Vessel Needs. Alongside. On Time.

From fresh mangoes loaded the morning of delivery to a full IMPA requisition covering deck, engine and cabin — OptiFresh supplies vessels calling Douala with one order, one delivery, one invoice.

Supply Categories

One requisition. One delivery. One invoice.

Fresh & Frozen Provisions

Locally sourced fruit and vegetables at their freshest, imported frozen meat, poultry and fish held in monitored cold storage. Cold chain maintained to the ship's rail. Crew nationality preferences catered for — European to Filipino to Chinese lists.

Bonded Stores

Beverages, tobacco and duty-free items handled with full customs compliance. Clean documentation every time — no clearance drama, no delays at the gangway.

Deck Stores

Mooring ropes, wires, shackles, paints, anodes, safety signage, pilot ladders, tarpaulins and general hardware — IMPA-coded for effortless requisition matching.

Engine Stores

Lubricants, gaskets, jointing, tools, welding consumables, filters, packing, hoses and chemicals. Genuine or approved-equivalent, stated clearly on every quote.

Cabin & Galley Stores

Linen, cleaning materials, galley equipment, tableware, toiletries and crew welfare items. The small things that keep a crew functioning — never treated as small.

Safety & Technical

PPE, fire-fighting consumables, life-saving appliance accessories and marine electronics sundries, supplied against certificates where required.

Fresh water arrangement, garbage disposal coordination, crew transport, and last-minute 'the Master just asked for...' items. Yes, we do those too.
