Technique Ltd.

What Technique Ltd. does

Technique Ltd., operating commercially as Royal Blue LTD, is a Piraeus, Greece-based marine spare parts trading and technical services company established in 2013. It serves ship owners, operators, and managers — primarily in the Greek shipping industry and globally — through two complementary divisions: Marine Spares, which supplies genuine, OEM and EPM spare parts for engine room equipment (main/aux engines, turbochargers, fuel systems, purifiers, pumps, compressors, filters, plate heat exchangers) and deck equipment (cranes, hatch covers, lashing materials); and Technique Technical Services, which delivers 24/7 technical services including stern tube seal replacement, dry dock services, BWMS and scrubber retrofits, engine overhauls, and a range of general engineering services. The firm operates through a curated network of 792 selected suppliers and three major service hubs, with stated geographic reach across Greece, China, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.

The core product is a procurement and service orchestration platform for marine operators: Royal Blue aggregates multi-manufacturer spare parts, holds official representation agreements with 13+ maritime equipment makers (including Auramarine, Marine Turbo Engineering, Hilong Marine Coatings, SMECO, DENO Compressors, PureteQ, and AAM Driveline), and coordinates global delivery and installation. The bespoke 3D scanning and retrofit design capability for BWMS/scrubber installations is a notable technical component on the services side. The company is ISO 9001 certified and the legal contracting entity is Royal Blue Logistics Ltd, domiciled in Cyprus under English law.

Royal Blue makes money through three primary streams: one-time spare parts sales (hardware), professional technical services (installation, dry dock, retrofit), and supplies/provisions delivery (consumables, bonded store). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led, direct B2B via experienced mechanical/sales engineers, supported by a website, downloadable PDF presentations, and an official-representation model. The company is privately held, with no disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity, and employs approximately 14 people.
