Mare Supply & Services Review: Consolidated ship supply across all Turkish calls
December 23, 2025
Mare Supply & Services is a Turkey-based ship supply and services firm built by ex-seafarers, covering all Turkish ports, shipyards and straits from its Izmir base and extended network. They combine provisions, bonded and technical stores with ship repair, marine cranes, cleaning and logistics, so superintendents can treat Mare as a single point of contact instead of juggling multiple local vendors across calls in Turkey and nearby regions.

Shipowners benefit by:
- Using one partner across Turkish ports and straits: Mare covers all major Turkish ports, shipyards and the Bosphorus/Dardanelles, plus selected nearby ports via partners. That means a superintendent can keep one contact and one set of standards instead of juggling different local suppliers for each call.
- Bundling provisions, bonded and technical stores: From fresh and frozen foods to bonded stores, technical and cabin stores, safety gear and nautical publications, Mare can deliver most needs in a single logistics chain, reducing truck calls, coordination time and the risk of missed items.
- Linking supply with ship repair and marine cranes: In addition to ship supply, Mare operates its own repair and maintenance workshop and produces marine and offshore cranes and grabs. That combination lets owners line up minor repairs, steel work or crane support alongside a normal port supply call instead of arranging separate vendors days apart.
- Cleaning holds and tanks on tight schedules: Cargo hold cleaning, tank cleaning, sludge and chemical cleaning services are part of Mare’s portfolio, giving bulk and tanker operators a way to prepare for the next cargo while provisioning and technical stores are loaded.
- De-risking owners’ goods and spare-parts logistics: Logistics and “owners’ goods” handling, including customs and storage, help keep critical spares and consumables flowing to the vessel without relying on ad-hoc local agents each time something moves.
- Having ex-seafarers on the supplier side: Mare emphasises that many team members, including leadership, have seagoing backgrounds, which can help align supply and service decisions with what actually works on board rather than just what fits a catalog.
Notes: This is a planning view based on Mare’s public descriptions. Exact coverage, service scope and
response times should always be confirmed against your specific port, yard and schedule.

Port-call consolidation sketch: many vendors vs one partner
Roughly frame what it could mean if Turkish calls use a single ship-supply partner instead of multiple local vendors.
Your current pattern
Calls where you typically arrange provisions, bonded or technical stores in Turkey.
Separate suppliers you usually deal with per call (e.g. provisions, technical, repairs).
Time for RFQs, clarifications, PO handling, invoicing checks and chasing trucks.
Use a fully loaded cost or an internal “value of time” for your team.
Your estimate of small truck fees, duplicate deliveries, invoice noise, etc., per vendor per call.
If you consolidate on one Turkish partner
Often “1” if a single partner covers provisions, bonded, technical and small repairs.
You still issue RFQs and POs, but with one relationship and one truck plan instead of many.

Mare Supply & Services ends up being less about a single headline product and more about taking friction out of every Turkish call. If you run trades that touch multiple ports, straits or yards in the region, having one team of ex-seafarers coordinating provisions, bonded and technical stores, repairs, crane support and owners’ goods can simplify planning and reduce the small but constant risks around missed trucks, unclear quotes and fragmented responsibility. Whether Mare becomes your primary Turkish partner or one of a short list, the practical question is simple: does consolidating more of your regional spend with a single, full-scope supplier make your port calls more predictable and your superintendent’s time easier to defend?
