Ship Chandling and Ship Spare Parts Supply in Sture | ProShipWorks

Sture is an industrial crude oil and gas terminal with crude and LPG operations at Jetty 1 and Jetty 2. With port operations managed by Equinor and Fedje VTS, vessel teams may need to arrange technical materials around berth activities, anchorage planning in Hjeltefjorden and the vessel’s operational schedule. Sourcing assistance can cover planned maintenance, corrective repairs and general vessel supplies, alongside arrangements involving bunkers, fresh water, waste reception, tugs and pilotage where relevant to the call.

A well-prepared parts enquiry helps reduce clarification during procurement. Provide the vessel name, IMO number where relevant, equipment maker, model, serial number, original part number, quantity and required date. Include drawings, photographs, material grades, dimensions, pressure or temperature ratings, connection standards and any class or manufacturer requirements. For a port call, also state the intended delivery point, vessel ETA or operational window and whether the request is for delivery alongside, transfer through an agent or collection arrangements. Each enquiry remains subject to supplier confirmation of specification, availability, price and logistics.

Maintenance on tankers and terminal-supporting vessels can involve cargo-handling systems, valves, pumps, deck machinery, steering equipment and pipework. Actuation replacements such as Valve Actuators should be matched against the valve type, actuator torque, power supply, control signal, fail position, mounting interface and hazardous-area requirements where applicable. For flanged pipework and maintenance assemblies, Flange Nuts should be specified with thread form, material grade, dimensions, coating and applicable flange or fastener standard. When hose or transfer connections require renewal, Couplings must be checked against hose size, end connections, pressure rating, media compatibility and any bonding or earthing requirements.

Navigation and manoeuvring repairs require precise equipment identification. Requests involving Steering Controls should include the system maker, control arrangement, interface details, operating voltage, feedback requirements and whether the item is a complete assembly or a replacement component. Deck lifting and recovery work may also require Snatch Blocks, for which buyers should provide safe working load, rope or wire diameter, sheave configuration, attachment style and certification needs. These details help suppliers assess suitability rather than relying on a product description alone.

Corrosion control and repair preparation can be important in exposed deck and machinery areas. Epoxy Paint should be requested with the substrate, service environment, coating system, colour, pack size and curing conditions, while Rust Preventive Oils should be matched to the metal surfaces, storage period and operating environment. For any replacement or repair, buyers should confirm whether maker approval, class documentation, inspection records or certificates are required, and allow time for technical review before confirming the order and delivery arrangements.
