Ship Stores Supply for Newbuilding During China Holiday

Project Summary

Project Background

The newbuilding project completed its official sea trial successfully as scheduled. The handover took place during the Chinese legal holiday period, when most suppliers suspended delivery and on-site service. This created challenges for the final ship stores sorting, supplement, handover and acceptance of the new vessel.

To support the smooth delivery and official commissioning of the newbuilding, the JIEXI team launched a holiday emergency supply service to fully guarantee the completion of ship stores handover.

Project Challenges

Holiday supply interruption. Factories and logistics providers were closed or operating at reduced capacity during the Chinese holiday. This increased the risk of material shortage and delivery delay.

Tight handover schedule. The final ship stores sorting, supplement, handover and acceptance had to be completed within the newbuilding delivery window.

Compliance and documentation. The materials needed to follow IMPA coding standards, applicable IMO and SOLAS requirements and shipyard specifications. Delivery lists, product quality certificates, CCS certificates, chemical certificates, asbestos-free certificates and other relevant documents were required.

On-site accuracy. Every item had to be checked for specification, quantity, validity period and compliance with ship inspection standards. Missing items, wrong items and unqualified materials had to be eliminated before acceptance.

Service Details

JIEXI provided a full-process, refined and customized ship stores supply service for the newbuilding project. The service covered pre-sales confirmation, holiday emergency arrangement, on-site docking, final acceptance and after-sales follow-up.

Holiday emergency arrangement. Special personnel were on duty 24/7 during the Chinese holiday, and key project team members remained available. Conventional ship stores, marine daily necessities, cabin supplies and navigation auxiliary materials were reserved in advance to reduce the risk of material shortage and delivery delay caused by holiday factory shutdowns and logistics suspension.

On-site whole-process docking. After the newbuilding sea trial, the professional service team arrived at the shipyard and communicated face-to-face with the ship crew and project person in charge. All ship stores were checked and sorted item by item, with specifications, quantity, validity period and compliance with ship inspection standards verified.

Standardized handover and filing. The team prepared detailed material lists, supply records and acceptance documents, completed formal handover signing procedures on site and established an exclusive project file for later material supplement, inquiry and after-sales tracking.

Customized matching for the newbuilding. The material supply plan was optimized according to the vessel type, tonnage and navigation area to meet the inspection requirements of new ship delivery and official navigation.

Project Service Highlights

Non-stop holiday service system. Unlike many peers that suspend services during Chinese holidays, JIEXI operates a 365-day all-weather service mechanism with independent emergency supply channels, fixed cooperative logistics teams and on-site service personnel. Consultation, quotation, delivery and handover services can continue throughout the year.

Newbuilding project experience. The team is familiar with the full process standards of newbuilding sea trial, inspection and delivery, as well as the material acceptance specifications of different ship types and ship inspection institutions. This helps match qualified materials and avoid delivery delays and rectification costs caused by non-compliant materials.

Integrated supply and service capacity. Procurement, reserve, distribution, on-site inspection, handover and after-sales service are integrated. Self-operated warehouses and stable upstream factory resources help eliminate intermediate links, optimize cost and maintain consistency between supplied materials and order standards.

Strict quality control. All ship stores comply with international marine standards and domestic ship inspection requirements. Multi-layer quality inspection before delivery, on-site recheck and acceptance help ensure materials are safe, compliant and durable for the long-term navigation needs of new vessels.

Ultra-fast Response

JIEXI takes rapid response as a core service standard for newbuilding emergency projects. The response process covers customer consultation, demand confirmation, scheme formulation and on-site service, helping solve emergency problems during the newbuilding delivery cycle.

Project Result

With holiday emergency supply capacity, on-site service and reliable product quality, the project was completed with no reported errors or delays during the Chinese holiday period. JIEXI completed the full ship stores supply and accurate on-site handover, supporting the newbuilding's smooth final acceptance and delivery.

Official five-star rating. After the on-site ship stores counting, handover and acceptance, the customer evaluated JIEXI's service response speed, holiday emergency guarantee ability, on-site service attitude and material quality, and gave the service a full five-star rating.

Recognition from on-site crew. The on-site crew noted that during the holiday period, when most suppliers were out of service, JIEXI's timely response, standardized process and detailed on-site docking solved the urgent newbuilding handover problem, reduced project delay risk and supported the smooth delivery of the vessel.

Long-term cooperation foundation. The holiday emergency service addressed the supply and handover challenges of the newbuilding project, established customer trust and laid a foundation for subsequent cooperation in ship stores supply, marine material maintenance and newbuilding project matching.
