About our operations
Complete Marine Services at Kandla Port
Aasutosh Marine has operated as a ship chandler at Kandla Port since 2009, supplying, repairing and supporting commercial vessels from Singapore, UAE, Greece, Turkey, China, Norway and every major shipping nation that routes through India’s west coast.
Kandla runs on tight schedules. Vessels arrive with pending inspections, repair jobs that cannot wait and crew changeovers to manage. Fleet managers need a supplier who does not require chasing. When your vessel berths here, the supplies are staged, the repair teams have their port passes and the spares have already cleared customs.
From our Gandhidham base, 5 km from the port, we cover everything: bonded stores, deck and engine consumables, SOLAS safety equipment servicing, PSC compliance support, hull cleaning at anchorage, engine overhaul and spares consolidation. All work runs under our ISO 9001 certified process with full documentation provided to owners, managers and P&I correspondents.
