Egypt sits at the crossroads of global trade. Vessels transiting the Suez Canal or calling
Egyptian ports for bunkers, cargo or repairs cannot afford complexity or delay. Yet many
operators still juggle multiple local suppliers and agents for each port, each service and each
emergency.
Invectus Marine Services aims to change that by acting as a 24/7, one-point-of-contact
partner for ship supply, marine services and logistics across all Egyptian ports — from Suez
and Port Said to Alexandria, Damietta and beyond.
Why “All Ports, One Partner” Matters
Using different suppliers at each port often leads to:
● Uneven service quality and pricing
● Repeated onboarding and documentation work
● Fragmented communication across time zones
● Difficulty tracking total spend and performance
Marine companies with strong national footprints highlight the value of providing one contact
for all Egyptian ports, 24/7, to reduce these headaches.
Invectus builds on this model, combining:
● Ship agency & port calls coordination
● Ship chandlery & full stores supply
● Spare parts logistics and parcel clearance
● Husbandry and crew services
● Technical and emergency repairs
…into one integrated service.
From Pre-Arrival to Departure: A Single Operational Story
Imagine a typical port call or canal transit:
1. Pre-Arrival
○ The vessel is nominated to call an Egyptian port or transit Suez.
○ The owner or manager sends a single nomination to Invectus for:
■ Port agency
■ Bunkering coordination (where applicable)
■ Provisions and bonded stores
■ Spare parts in transit
■ Crew changes or CTM
2. Port Call & On-Ground Coordination
○ Invectus works with local authorities and terminals to coordinate:
■ Pilotage & towage bookings
■ Berthing windows
■ Customs and immigration formalities
■ Gate passes for technicians and transport
3. Leading Egyptian marine providers emphasize the value of integrated agency and
supply to ensure smooth port operations — Invectus follows the same principle while
focusing on reliability and speed.
4. 24/7 Ship Supply & Onboard Delivery
○ Provisions (fresh, frozen and dry), bonded stores, technical and safety stores are
prepared and inspected under ISO-aligned procedures.
○ Deliveries are scheduled to match cargo operations and pilotage, reducing time
alongside.
5. Technical Support & Emergency Call-Outs
○ If mechanical or electrical issues arise, Invectus can coordinate technical and
repair services, emergency troubleshooting and spare parts logistics so that
downtime is minimized.
6. Post-Departure and Reporting
○ After sailing, the client receives a consolidated report and invoices, grouped by
vessel and port, instead of a stack of uncoordinated local bills.
24/7 Really Means 24/7
Many suppliers advertise “24/7” but operate with limited after-hours capability in practice. Marine
companies in Egypt that truly support round-the-clock operations typically underline:
● Dedicated duty officers available via phone and email
● Ability to handle night-time and weekend deliveries
● Immediate response for emergency RFQs and deviations
Invectus’ model follows these same expectations:
● Duty team on call 24/7 for urgent supply, diversions and last-minute crew or husbandry
needs
● Escalation paths if a vessel faces critical issues (e.g., safety, class, cargo-related)
● Clear response-time targets for acknowledging and quoting urgent requests
Typical Scenarios Where Invectus Adds Real Value
1. Last-Minute Canal Transit Requirements
A vessel approaching Suez realizes additional safety or deck stores are needed to pass
inspection or complete operations. Invectus can:
○ Receive the RFQ at short notice
○ Check stock and alternatives
○ Deliver onboard before critical deadlines, leveraging coverage at all Egyptian
ports.
2. Spare Parts in Transit via Cairo or Other Airports
Critical spares arrive at the airport and must reach a vessel in another port quickly.
Invectus connects customs clearance, inland transport and port delivery in one chain, as
seen with other specialized spares handlers in Egypt.
3. Dry Dock or Repair Period in Egypt
During planned repairs, a vessel needs daily provisioning, bonded stores and technical
support. A single partner coordinating supply, logistics and local contractors reduces risk
and admin load.
If you manage a fleet that regularly:

partner.
