By accessing or using this website, submitting an enquiry or sending a Request for Quotation through Ship Chandler Abidjan, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms & Conditions.
If you are submitting information on behalf of a company, vessel owner, ship manager, operator, charterer, purchasing department, agent or other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to submit the relevant request on its behalf.
1. Website Purpose
This website provides information concerning ship supply, marine procurement and related services for vessels calling at Port of Abidjan and associated marine operations.
Website content is provided for general commercial information and enquiry purposes. Information displayed on the website does not constitute a binding offer to sell any specific product or service.
2. Requests for Quotation
Customers may submit vessel supply requirements through the website RFQ form or by email.
An RFQ may include information such as:
- Vessel name and IMO number.
- Vessel type.
- Port and delivery location.
- ETA or requested delivery date.
- Product descriptions and quantities.
- Preferred brands or manufacturers.
- IMPA or other marine procurement references.
- Technical specifications.
- Requisition lists and supporting attachments.
Submission of an RFQ does not by itself create a contract, order acceptance or obligation to supply the requested goods or services.
3. Quotations
Quotations may be prepared based on the information supplied by the customer and the availability of requested goods, services and delivery resources at the relevant time.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in a quotation, prices, availability, delivery arrangements and other commercial conditions remain subject to confirmation.
A quotation may contain additional terms, including validity periods, payment conditions, delivery charges, transportation fees, launch or boat costs, agency charges, customs-related expenses or other costs applicable to a specific vessel call.
Where a quotation contains specific commercial terms that differ from these website terms, the terms stated in the accepted quotation, purchase order confirmation or subsequent written agreement will apply to that transaction.
4. Price and Availability
Marine supply prices may vary according to market conditions, supplier availability, quantities, requested brands, product origin, delivery location and the timing of the vessel call.
Product availability cannot be guaranteed merely because an item, category or service is described on this website.
Where an exact requested item is unavailable, an alternative product may be proposed. Substitutions should be subject to customer acceptance where the specification, manufacturer, size, grade or other material characteristic differs from the original request.
5. Order Acceptance
A customer purchase order, email instruction or other confirmation does not automatically require Ship Chandler Abidjan to proceed with supply unless the order and relevant commercial conditions have been accepted or confirmed.
Before supply is arranged, additional information or confirmation may be requested, including vessel schedule, delivery instructions, payment arrangements, agent details or other operational information.
6. Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for providing reasonably accurate and complete information necessary to prepare quotations and coordinate vessel supply.
This includes verifying:
- Vessel name and IMO number.
- Correct port and berth information.
- ETA and vessel schedule.
- Product quantities.
- Units of measurement.
- Technical specifications.
- Required certifications where relevant.
- Voltage, frequency, pressure, size, grade or material requirements where applicable.
- Maker, model and serial numbers for spare-part enquiries where required.
Ship Chandler Abidjan is not responsible for errors resulting from materially incorrect, incomplete or ambiguous specifications supplied by the customer.
7. IMPA, Manufacturer and Part References
IMPA numbers, manufacturer names, model numbers, part numbers and similar references may be used to identify requested marine products.
Customers should verify that any reference supplied corresponds to the item actually required by the vessel.
A reference number does not necessarily imply that a particular manufacturer or brand is available unless specifically confirmed in the quotation.
8. Delivery and Port Coordination
Delivery arrangements depend on the vessel schedule, port procedures, berth accessibility, terminal rules, security requirements, availability of transportation and other operational circumstances.
Customers should provide updated ETA information and notify us of material schedule changes as soon as reasonably possible.
Delivery times discussed before final confirmation should be treated as estimates unless a specific commitment has been expressly agreed in writing.
9. Port, Agent and Third-Party Charges
Certain vessel deliveries may require services or permissions provided by third parties, including port authorities, agents, terminals, transport providers, launch or boat operators, customs-related service providers or other contractors.
Any applicable third-party charge should be stated or communicated where known before final order confirmation where reasonably practicable.
10. Payment Terms
Payment conditions are determined according to the specific quotation, order confirmation, credit arrangement or other written commercial agreement.
No credit term should be assumed unless it has been expressly confirmed.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that payments are made according to the currency, bank details, due date and other conditions stated in the applicable commercial documents.
11. Cancellations and Changes
Requests to cancel or modify an accepted order should be communicated as early as possible.
Where procurement, preparation, transport, special manufacture, third-party services or other costs have already been committed, cancellation or modification may be subject to applicable charges.
Any such conditions should be assessed according to the specific circumstances of the order and the terms agreed with the customer.
12. Requisition Files and Attachments
Customers may upload supporting files through the RFQ form, including requisition spreadsheets, PDF documents, technical documentation and product images.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that they have the authority to submit the information contained in those documents.
Files should contain only information reasonably necessary for the relevant quotation or vessel supply request.
13. Communications
Communications relating to an RFQ may take place by email, telephone, messaging services or other business communication channels where contact details have been provided.
Customers should verify important commercial details contained in quotations, confirmations or payment instructions before acting on them.
14. Third-Party Suppliers and Service Providers
Marine procurement may involve third-party manufacturers, distributors, local suppliers, logistics providers and specialized marine service providers.
Where third-party products or services are involved, applicable manufacturer or supplier conditions may also affect warranties, availability, specifications or performance.
