Safety Store

Safety stores cover life-saving appliances, fire-fighting equipment and personal protective equipment. Most items in this category are certificated and subject to survey, so specification and paperwork matter as much as the item. Vietnam Ship Supply (VSS) supplies safety stores to vessels at ports and shipyards across Vietnam.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR REQUISITION

Tell us whether the item is being supplied against a survey, an inspection finding or a port state control deficiency, because that usually sets the deadline and it may set the approval required.

Life-saving and fire-fighting appliances

state the approval the vessel needs and whether certificates must accompany delivery.

Pilot ladders

give the length and the required standard. Certificated safety equipment cannot be substituted on arrival, so an exact specification saves a second delivery.
