Genoa - Italian Scandinavian S.r.l. Ships Supply & Logistics (Genoa, Head Office)
Genoa - Italian Scandinavian Ships Supply & Logistics is a long-established logistics provider headquartered in Genoa, Italy. Founded in 1964, the company has built a solid reputation as a ships supplier and has expanded its operations to include a ship spares and general cargo freight forwarding unit. The group emphasizes total customer focus, price competitiveness, and rapid response as core strengths, supporting maritime and related industries with a comprehensive range of services.
Ship Spare Logistics forms a central pillar of the business. The company offers airfreight direct and consolidated shipments, sea freight with FCL and LCL options, vessel-to-vessel collection and delivery (covering off-port limits, anchorages, container ports, terminals, and drydocks), customs brokerage, and warehousing with parts consolidation prior to vessel delivery. It also provides reverse logistics programs for warranty parts, and hand-carry cargo for ultra-urgent deliveries. These capabilities position the organization as a strategic partner for cruise lines, cargo ships, yachts, and other vessel operators needing timely and secure spare parts provisioning.
Beyond ship spares, Italian Scandinavian delivers broad general cargo freight forwarding services. The company coordinates end-to-end shipments from planning through final delivery, offering track-and-trace facilities and door-to-door coverage via agent representation in major international centers. Transportation solutions span air, ocean (FCL/LCL), non-containerized breakbulk or RO/RO as required, and multimodal options including road and rail. Additional services include freight forwarding, customs clearance, insurance, warehousing, and distribution, ensuring a cohesive supply chain experience for customers with complex logistics needs.
The firm positions itself as a provider of choice for ship supply and technical provisioning. It maintains stock and supplies a wide range of cabin, deck, and engine consumables and spare parts tailored to the budgets of operators, managers, and owners. The offering covers cabin stores, medical equipment, navigational gear, galley and deck stores, marine paints and chemicals, safety supplies, electrical and engine stores, special spare parts, and corrosion protection products. These capabilities support vessels, offshore platforms, and other maritime assets requiring reliable procurement and ongoing maintenance.
A dedicated food and beverage provisioning service is also part of the portfolio. Italian Scandinavian sources fresh, frozen, and dry provisions globally, adhering to stringent hygiene and quality controls throughout the supply chain to meet the expectations of cargo ships, navy and cruise line operations, as well as offshore industries. The broad product range includes fresh and chilled produce, dairy, meats, seafood, pastries, frozen goods, condiments, grains, and dry groceries, with a focus on quality, safety, and traceability.
Strategic positioning in the market is reinforced by a global logistics footprint with headquarters in Genoa and additional platforms in key hubs such as Miami, Jebel Ali (Dubai), and Ho Chi Minh City. This network supports a world-wide coverage model that aligns with international freight forwarding, ship supply provisioning, and end-to-end supply chain coordination. The company emphasizes three pillars: global reach, industry specialization, and operational excellence, aiming to deliver reliable and transparent logistics solutions tailored to maritime, industrial, and food & beverage sectors.
Products and services are organized under a suite of logistics offerings, including air freight, sea freight, road freight, hand-carry / on-board courier (OBC), and food & beverage provisioning, alongside dedicated ship spare logistics. The combination of maritime expertise and cross-border freight capabilities enables customers to manage time-sensitive shipments and critical supply chains with confidence. The organization highlights its ability to support time-critical operations, ensure chain-of-custody integrity for urgent hand-carries, and provide end-to-end provisioning and logistics support across multiple regions.
In summary, Italian Scandinavian Ships Supply & Logistics combines decades of maritime experience with a broad freight forwarding and provisioning portfolio.
