About our operations
Ship Chandler and Marine Services at Port Blair
Aasutosh Marine operates as a full service ship chandler in Port Blair, coordinating marine stores, provisions, technical supplies, spare parts, safety equipment and vessel support services for vessels calling at Port Blair Harbour, Haddo Wharf, Phoenix Bay, anchorage areas and commercial harbour service zones on South Andaman Island. We serve coastal cargo vessel operators, passenger ship companies, offshore support vessel managers, government vessel agencies and harbour craft operators whose vessels call at Blair Port, the main commercial port of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal.
Port Blair, the administrative capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, presents a distinctly different operational environment from mainland Indian ports. The island’s distance from major supply centres on the Indian mainland, typically 1,200 km or more from Chennai and Kolkata, means that marine supply coordination at Port Blair requires considerably more lead time than a similar supply at a mainland port. Sourcing of specific items, consolidation of multi-item orders, customs documentation and inter-island or mainland-to-island freight all add time to the supply chain. A ship supplier in Port Blair who understands this island logistics reality, and who begins coordination well before the vessel’s ETA, delivers a fundamentally more reliable service than one who treats a Port Blair call as equivalent to a mainland port supply.
With over 15 years of India-wide operations, our ship chandling services at Port Blair include bonded stores, deck and engine consumables, SOLAS safety equipment servicing, PSC compliance support, ship repair in Port Blair, underwater services subject to port permission, and spares clearance services, all documented under our ISO 9001 certified process.

Service 03
Port State Control Assistance
Vessels calling at Port Blair, including coastal cargo ships, passenger vessels and offshore support craft, are subject to PSC inspection under the Indian Ocean MOU. A detention at Blair Port creates operational and logistical complications that are more difficult to resolve in an island environment than at a mainland port, due to the limited availability of replacement parts and specialist technicians locally. We provide PSC assistance at Port Blair from pre-arrival, identifying outstanding deficiencies and coordinating rectification before the PSCO boards, so vessels depart Port Blair on schedule.
- Pre-inspection vessel preparation
- SOLAS documentation compliance review
- Safety equipment inspection and certification
- Deficiency rectification at Port Blair
- Coordination with Blair Port harbour authority
Service 04
Spares Clearing and Consolidation
Spare parts for vessels at Port Blair typically travel by air freight into Veer Savarkar International Airport, Port Blair, or by sea freight from Chennai or Kolkata. Both routes require more time than equivalent mainland supply chains. Import documentation for ship stores and spare parts at Blair Port goes through the Port Blair Customs office. Early identification of required spares, correct HS code documentation and realistic lead time planning are critical for successful spares supply at Port Blair. Aasutosh Marine manages the complete spares chain from sourcing through import documentation and delivery to the vessel at Blair Port, based on confirmed berth and access conditions.
- Import customs clearance at Port Blair
- Air and sea freight coordination from mainland

Service 05
Marine Supplies and Provisions
As a trusted marine supplier in Port Blair, Aasutosh Marine supplies all IMPA coded deck, engine, cabin and safety stores to vessels calling at Blair Port. Port Blair's island location means that some items available readily on the Indian mainland may need to be sourced from Chennai, Kolkata or Vishakhapatnam and shipped or flown to the Andaman Islands. Vessel operators should send their complete stores list with as much advance notice as possible before ETA at Port Blair to allow sufficient time for sourcing, consolidation, freight booking and customs documentation, particularly for technical or specialised items.
- Fresh provisions, dry and frozen stores
- Deck and engine room consumables
- Marine paints, ropes and mooring equipment

Port overview
About Port Blair (Blair Port)
Port Blair is the administrative capital and main port of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, located on the southeastern coast of South Andaman Island. Its sheltered natural harbour supports commercial cargo, passenger ferries, fishing vessels, tourism boats, and government vessels.
Key commercial facilities include Haddo Wharf and Phoenix Bay Jetty, while Chatham Island has the historic Chatham Sawmill and jetty. Parts of the harbour are under Indian Navy and Coast Guard jurisdiction and are not accessible to commercial marine service providers.
Due to its island location, marine supplies are mainly sourced from Chennai, Kolkata, or Visakhapatnam and transported by air or sea. Vessel operators should contact Aasutosh Marine several days in advance for standard supplies and at least a week for specialised equipment, spare parts, or large orders to allow sufficient time for sourcing, freight, and documentation.
