Our Story

Dedicated to Maritime Excellence since 1994

Strategic Location, Historic Roots

Ship Chandlers South Africa is proud to serve the maritime industry from its strategic location in the historic Cape Town Harbour. Since the city's establishment as a vital victualing station in 1652 for ships traversing to and from the Dutch East Indies, the Port of Cape Town has continuously grown and progressed.

Today, it is a bustling hub featuring two docks, multi-purpose and fruit terminals, a dry dock, repair quay, an extensive yachting marina, and a tanker basin. We are honoured to play a crucial role in the ongoing development and success of this industry.

"We are committed to understanding what your vessel truly requires, ensuring our delivery is executed with care, speed, and consistency."
