Spare parts logistics
Follow the steps from customs coordination to consignment storage and onward vessel delivery in Egypt.

A guide to the movement of spares.
Look beyond the arrival point
A replacement part still needs to reach the vessel after its shipment arrives in Egypt. Customs requirements, temporary storage and the onward delivery connection can all form part of the journey. Concord’s logistics service addresses these shore-side stages.
Begin with the consignment details and the vessel’s location. The enquiry should make clear whether the request concerns clearance, storage, vessel delivery or a combination of these services, so the relevant scope can be discussed.
Prepare for customs coordination
Concord describes dedicated support at Cairo Airport for spare parts parcel customs clearance. Shipment and part details help its team understand the consignment and discuss the arrangements required before onward transport is coordinated.
Share the available shipment information and the intended vessel connection with the logistics team. Specific documentation and handling requirements should be confirmed directly for the consignment; a general service description does not replace that operational discussion.
Consider consignment storage
Not every spare part is required on board immediately. Concord offers a consignment storage and stock point service for ship owners’ spares near the Suez Canal, supporting the coordination of stock before it is needed by a vessel.
Storage enquiries should identify the goods involved and the intended onward use. Keeping the storage request linked to vessel requirements helps the team discuss how the consignment can be held and its later delivery arranged.
Connect storage with vessel delivery
The company’s published logistics scope includes its own vehicles and motorboats for the onward movement of spares. The appropriate delivery arrangement depends on the vessel, port and consignment, and should be confirmed for the operation. Use one clear enquiry to describe the required stages, from arrival through storage to handover. Contact Concord with the shipment details and vessel schedule to discuss the available service and the next practical steps.
