As a dependable ship chandler in Kochi and ship supplier in Cochin Port, we serve commercial vessels from Singapore, UAE, Greece, Turkey, China and all major shipping nations that call at Kerala’s principal gateway on the Arabian Sea.
Cochin Port sits on the main east-west global shipping route, making it a natural stop for vessels transiting between the Middle East, Europe and Far East Asia. Fleet managers calling at Kochi need a marine supplier in Cochin Port who is ready before the vessel arrives, not after. When your ship berths anywhere from Willingdon Island to the Ernakulam Wharf, your deck and engine stores are staged at the gangway, repair crews hold valid port passes and spare parts have already cleared customs. As one of the more responsive Kerala port services providers, we treat every berth across Cochin Harbour as our home ground.
As an established ship stores supplier in Cochin, we carry full IMPA coded inventories across engine, deck, cabin, safety and provision categories. Working from Kochi, we manage bonded stores, fresh provisions for vessels in Cochin Port, SOLAS safety equipment servicing, PSC compliance support, underwater hull cleaning, engine overhaul and spares consolidation. Every job runs under our ISO 9001 certified process with complete documentation for owners, managers and P&I correspondents.

Port overview
About Cochin Port
Cochin Port, also known as Kochi Port, is a major Indian port on the Arabian Sea coast of Kerala. Opened in 1928, it is built around two channels, the Ernakulam Channel and the Mattancherry Channel, which together provide sixteen alongside berths handling general cargo, fertiliser, oil and containers. Cochin Port handled 37.75 million tonnes of cargo and 834,665 TEU of container traffic in 2024-25, making it one of South India's leading gateways for international trade.
The port's main growth driver is the Vallarpadam International Container Transshipment Terminal, India's first dedicated transshipment hub operating inside a special economic zone. Vallarpadam offers a 600 metre quay with a draft of 14.5 metres, currently being deepened to 16 metres, and handles around 1.4 million TEU of annual capacity. This deep draft lets Cochin Port receive larger container vessels directly on the main east-west shipping lane rather than routing cargo through Colombo or Singapore.
Kochi is also home to Cochin Shipyard Limited, one of India's largest shipbuilding and repair yards, supporting Navy, Coast Guard, tanker, bulk carrier and offshore vessel work. This concentration of shipping, repair and offshore activity makes Kochi a central hub of the Kerala maritime industry, with steady demand for ship chandling services in Kerala from commercial, defence and offshore operators alike. Aasutosh Marine provides ship chandling services across Cochin Harbour, the Vallarpadam Container Terminal, Willingdon Island and all operational berths within Kochi Port, giving fleet managers one point of contact regardless of where their vessel is assigned to berth.
