RFQ RESPONSE · WITHIN 24H
For Procurement, Purchasing and Fleet Management

Marine procurement made simple.

This page is not corporate boilerplate. It exists to answer what a procurement team needs to know before adding a vendor to a bid list: how we handle the RFQ, what goes into the quotation, who replies, and what happens when the scope changes.

Who this page is for

If you buy for vessels, we are talking to you.

Procurement & Purchasing
Whoever receives the vessel's requirement and has to turn it into an auditable order.
Supply Chain
Whoever answers for the delivery date at the port and for consolidating items.
Fleet Management
Whoever needs the vessel to sail on time with the non-conformity closed.
Superintendents
Whoever is technically accountable for what was executed on board.
What we do for you

From RFQ received to documented delivery.

RFQ handling
We take it in your format — spreadsheet, PDF, e-mail or portal. We do not require you to fill in ours.
Scope review
We read the scope before pricing it and flag what is ambiguous, instead of assuming and charging later.
Technical clarification
When the vessel's requirement arrives incomplete, we speak directly to the vessel to close the gap.
Quotation
Line-item pricing with material and labour separated, so you can genuinely compare bids.
Material sourcing
We locate the item or its technical equivalent. The search is ours, it does not land back on your desk.
Supply
Consolidation and port delivery under a single purchase order.
Service execution
Our own team on board, under the vessel's permit to work and HSE regime.
Delivery coordination
Port, date and access aligned with the vessel's real schedule.
Rules of engagement

What we commit to in writing.

Commercial commitments matter when they are verifiable. These are ours, and you can hold us to every one of them.

24h response
Every RFQ gets a technical reply within 24 business hours — including when the reply is that we cannot take it on.
Open pricing
Material and labour separated, line by line. No lump sum without a breakdown.
Scope before price
The scope is written and agreed before execution, so the delivery can be checked against the order.
Changes flagged first
A scope change is presented with its cost and schedule impact before we execute it — never on the invoice.
One interlocutor
The same person answers from quotation through delivery. You are not passed between departments.
Documentation your way
Certificates, invoices and delivery records issued as your internal process requires.
