Source marine provisions, spares, safety equipment and consumables through a structured RFQ-to-delivery workflow — built for fleet procurement teams, ship captains and professional chandlers.
The marketplace
Marine procurement runs on email threads, spreadsheets and phone calls — and then falls apart at the quay. Bluewater replaces that with a single structured workflow that every party works inside: Procurement Managers, Ship Captains, Chandlers and the Platform Admin.
Procurement Manager
Fleet-wide RFQs, quote decisions and spend reporting.
Ship Captain
Vessel-scoped requests and onboard delivery confirmation.
Sales Desk
RFQ queue, requirement workspace and quote builder.
Platform Admin
Product master, approvals and platform-wide oversight.
Vessel, IMO, delivery port, required date, ETA and ETD captured on every RFQ — no missing context.
Catalogue browsing without exposed pricing; commercial terms are agreed per RFQ, per port.
Send the provision list you already have — CSV, PDF or a photograph — and the desk reads it rather than asking you to retype it.
Version 1 → 2 → 3 retained and visible to both sides, with line-level comments.
Confirmed, Processing, Dispatched, Delivered — with timestamps and named actors.
Invoice, packing list, delivery challan and an optional onboard delivery photo.
How it works
Four stages from catalogue discovery to confirmed onboard delivery — each one leaving a timestamped, attributable record.
Search a structured marine catalogue by category, SKU, brand or specification — provisions through to class-approved spares.
Collect catalogue lines and custom items into a vessel-scoped RFQ basket with delivery port, required date, ETA and ETD.
Receive versioned quotations with line-level availability, substitutions and comments. Every revision is retained.
Track confirmed → processing → dispatched → delivered, with invoice, packing list and onboard delivery confirmation.
Catalogue
A structured marine catalogue with SKU, brand, unit of measure and minimum order quantity on every line.
RFQ workflow
No stage is skipped and no change is silent. Each transition records who acted, when, and what changed.

For fleet procurement
Average quote turnaround drops from days to hours because requests arrive structured, complete and vessel-scoped.
Procurement Managers see every vessel, RFQ and order in one console; Captains see only what concerns their vessel.
Vessel particulars, preferred ports and voyage dates carry through from fleet records into each RFQ automatically.
Procurement spend by vessel, order history and RFQ turnaround reporting — exportable for owners and charterers.
Every quote version, negotiation comment and status change is timestamped and attributed to a named user.
Chandlers are onboarded through KYC and business documentation review before they can quote a single line.
Trust & verification
Both sides of every transaction are onboarded, verified and permissioned before they can trade. What happens afterwards is recorded permanently.
Register an agencyBusiness registration and trade documents reviewed by the platform team before approval.
Seven roles across administration, sales, order operations, finance and the buyer side — each sees only its authorised functions.
Every revision preserved and visible to both parties for dispute resolution.
Delivery coordination across major bunkering and provisioning hubs.
Register your fleet, add your vessels and issue a structured RFQ in minutes. No integration work, no per-seat licences during onboarding.
