Seven Seas

What Seven Seas does

Seven Seas Group is a global maritime services group founded in 1971 and headquartered in Dubai Investments Park, UAE. The company supplies vessels worldwide with general ship supplies, provisions (fresh, frozen, dry), stores (cabin, deck, engine), bonded stores, and spare parts, and operates a 3PL/4PL logistics business anchored by a solar-powered Dubai facility with 100+ vehicles, multi-temperature warehousing, and customs clearance. Distribution is delivered through 15+ directly-owned offices, a 500+ global supplier portfolio, and a vetted partner network covering 600+ ports across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

The company serves six primary vertical segments: merchant vessels, cruise, offshore oil & gas, navy/military, fishing, and new building/dry docks. Its technology stack is anchored by EDI-based ordering integration, DNV-approved temperature-controlled offshore containers, in-house sustainable product brands (EcoWave water filtration, Mundo Gear, acquired Alcona PPE/cleaning), and a 3.38 MW solar rooftop plus a new 24,000 sqm cold store (36,000+ pallet spaces) under construction in Dubai. Customers are enterprise ship owners, managers, caterers, offshore operators, and government/military fleets; the company is ISO 9001/14001/22000/45001 certified and an IMPA/ISSA member.

The business model combines transaction-based revenues from ship supply chandlery with managed-service revenues from 3PL logistics and partner-network coordination. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per contract rather than publicly listed. Following the December 2023 acquisition by Everise/Schulte Group, Seven Seas unified with Everise Shipping Services and HMS Far East under one brand in 2024, and has since expanded into South Korea and Hong Kong (Jan 2026) while launching SevenSeas Global Logistics as a dedicated 3PL unit. The company is privately held under Schulte Group and operates approximately 500+ employees across 23 nationalities.

Direct peers

• Marcon International: Norwegian-headquartered global ship supplier with multi-decade heritage serving merchant, offshore, cruise, and fishing segments with provisions, stores, and spare parts — a like-for-like competitor to Seven Seas' core chandlery business.
• Wrist Ship Supply: One of the largest global ship chandlery and maritime supply companies, offering provisions, stores, and technical maritime brands across hundreds of ports — directly comparable to Seven Seas in core ship supply scope and global reach.
• Mercandia Shipping & Forwarding: Global ship supply and logistics provider focused on provisions, cabin/deck/engine stores, and spare parts for commercial vessels — operating a multi-region office network similar to Seven Seas' direct office model.

Broad incumbents

• GAC Group: Global shipping, logistics, and marine services conglomerate offering ship agency, supply, and 3PL across major hubs — overlapping with Seven Seas in ship supply and Dubai-based logistics but serving a broader maritime portfolio.
• Inchcape Shipping Services: Maritime services provider offering ship agency, supply, and logistics across a global port network — competes with Seven Seas in vessel supply and port services while serving a broader customer portfolio.
• V.Group: Global ship management and marine services company providing crew management, technical services, and supply solutions — comparable as a maritime services peer addressing overlapping shipowner needs, though focused on managed services rather than pure chandlery.
• Unifeeder: Global feeder and container shipping services provider with multimodal logistics capabilities — overlapping with Seven Seas' newly launched SevenSeas Global Logistics 3PL/4PL business in maritime transport logistics.
• Wilhelmsen: Global maritime industry group with marine products, ship management, and maritime services divisions serving shipowners worldwide — provides comparable ship supply and spare parts distribution alongside much broader portfolio offerings.
• Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement: Sister entity under the Schulte Group parent that ultimately owns Seven Seas; provides ship management, crewing, and maritime services globally. Comparable as a related Schulte portfolio company addressing adjacent maritime services needs of similar shipowner customers.

Emerging players
