A practical guide to deck safety equipment supply in Istanbul — lifejackets, immersion suits, SCBA sets, fire-fighting outfits and SOLAS chandlery delivered with certificates.
Deck safety equipment is not a category where compromises are made. Port State Control inspectors at Istanbul ports — particularly Ambarlı, Haydarpaşa and Tuzla — review the condition and validity of lifesaving appliances (LSA) and fire-fighting equipment (FFE) on every detention-risk visit. As an Istanbul ship supply company specialising in marine safety, we keep a deep inventory of SOLAS-approved items ready for same-day delivery.
The most-requested items in our deck safety range are SOLAS-approved lifejackets with whistles and retro-reflective tape, immersion suits in adult and oversize, lifebuoys with self-igniting lights, EEBDs (emergency escape breathing devices), SCBA cylinders and fire-fighter outfits including helmets, gloves, boots and flame-resistant coveralls. Each item arrives with the manufacturer certificate, test date and serial number recorded on the delivery note.
For vessels approaching annual or intermediate inspections, we coordinate liferaft servicing and rescue boat engine checks with approved service stations in the Istanbul area. Servicing is scheduled around your port stay so liferafts return with new certificates before sailing. Where replacement is required — hydrostatic release units, SART batteries, EPIRB battery packs — we stock OEM parts in our Istanbul warehouse.
Fire-fighting stores are equally critical. Portable extinguishers (CO2, dry powder, foam) need annual checks; we provide refilled or new bottles with the test pressure stamped on the label. Fire hoses, nozzles, applicators and international shore couplings are stocked in standard sizes. For tankers calling the Botaş corridor, MSDS-documented foam concentrate and high-expansion foam systems are available with full certifications.
Beyond LSA and FFE, deck safety chandlery includes mooring tails, anti-slip paint, deck markings, MOB poles, hi-vis vests, hard hats and harnesses for working aloft. Our operators visit the vessel when needed to verify quantities and sizes — important when crew rotation changes between port calls and uniform sizing varies.
Send your safety stores requisition with vessel name, berth and inspection deadline. We confirm certificates available, dispatch from the Istanbul warehouse, and deliver alongside or by launch boat to anchorage. Where re-export documentation is needed for stores moving onward with the vessel, our customs desk prepares the paperwork without delaying departure.
