Integrated Marine PPE & Safety Equipment Supply

What is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in maritime operations?

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in maritime operations refers to safety gear used to protect crew members against onboard hazards including:

• Slips and falls
• Mechanical injuries
• Chemical exposure
• Fire risks
• Noise and vibration
• Confined space operations
• Cargo handling risks

Onboard safety is a direct function of compliant PPE supply. Procurement teams must ensure PPE is suitable for engine room, deck, galley, cargo operations and offshore working environments.

IMO /SOLAS / MARPOL /MLC Compliance Importance

Marine PPE must align with international regulatory frameworks including:

• IMO (International Maritime Organization)
• SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea)
• MARPOL
• MLC 2006 (Maritime Labour Convention)

Non-compliant PPE can result in:

• Port State Control deficiencies
• Vessel detention risks
• Insurance exposure
• Crew safety liabilities

AVS sources PPE from verified manufacturers aligned with international marine standards, ensuring procurement departments minimize regulatory risk.

Marine operations require durable hand and foot protection due to wet decks, chemicals and heavy equipment.

AVS supplies:

• Cut-resistant gloves

• Waterproof marine workwear
• Anti-static protective suits

These items are supplied in accordance with vessel operational profiles and trading areas.

Respiratory & Hearing Protection Supply

Engine room operations, tank cleaning and cargo handling may require respiratory and hearing protection.

AVS supplies:

• Respirators
• Dust masks
• Chemical cartridge masks

Marine Safety & Emergency PPE Equipment Supply

Emergency preparedness is critical in maritime operations.

AVS supports vessels with:

• Safety harnesses
• Lifejackets (where applicable under supply scope)
• Protective firefighting gloves
• Emergency response kits

Procurement teams can integrate these orders with dry docking or annual inspection planning.

PPE Supply as Part of AVS Integrated Ship Supply Operations

PPE is not supplied in isolation. It is part of AVS’ integrated supply chain model.

Instead of placing separate orders to multiple vendors, procurement departments can consolidate:

• Provisions
• Bonded stores
• Technical stores
• Marine chemicals
• PPE
• Spare parts

This reduces:

• Administrative workload
• Freight duplication
• Customs complexity
• Delivery coordination risks

AVS Customs Clearance Support

Many PPE items may be subject to customs classification requirements depending on the port.

AVS supports:

• HS code documentation
• Import/export coordination
• Port-specific compliance documentation
• Bonded warehouse processing

This minimizes clearance delays and vessel waiting time.

AVS Logistics & Consolidation Support

AVS coordinates:

• Pre-ETA planning
• Multi-vendor consolidation
• Air freight / sea freight / bonded transport
• Offshore direct delivery where permitted

This allows procurement teams to receive PPE alongside other operational supplies.

AVS Global Supply Network

AVS operates through an established global coordination model covering 1,500+ ports across 126+ countries.

This allows:

• Centralized procurement handling
• Local port execution
• Standardized quotation procedures
• Global contract management support

Fleet managers can standardize PPE supply across multiple vessels through AVS.

40+ Years of Marine Supply Experience

Experience matters in marine supply.

With more than four decades in the industry, AVS understands:

• Vessel turnaround pressure
• PSC inspection risks
• Offshore delivery challenges
• Multi-port coordination
• Procurement reporting requirements

PPE supply becomes a controlled process — not an emergency purchase.
