Common Questions

Quick answers about sourcing, testing, shipping, and how we work with B2B buyers worldwide.

Are the reconditioned products reliable? How do you test them?

Yes. Every 'Used / Tested' item in our inventory goes through a functional test by our in-house technical team before listing. We test for operational performance, not just visual condition. Units that fail testing are never sold — they are either repaired, re-tested, or scrapped. We offer a 30-day functional warranty on all tested electronics.

What types of marine equipment does SAR Marine supply

SAR Marine supplies marine navigation electronics (radar, ECDIS, AIS, GPS, gyrocompass, VDR, echosounder, autopilot), automation and electrical equipment (PLCs, VFDs, sensors, control panels), marine lighting (navigation lights, explosion-proof, deck, emergency, cabin), and rig and offshore spares (hydraulics, pneumatics, valves). We stock 10,000+ SKUs from 30+ global brands.

Where do you source your marine spare parts?

We source directly from vessels arriving at the Alang Ship Recycling Yard in Bhavnagar, Gujarat — the world's largest ship recycling facility. Over 300 ships are processed here annually, providing access to a continuous supply of authentic, well-maintained marine equipment from every vessel class.

Q4: Do you ship internationally? What countries do you serve?

Yes. SAR Marine ships to 50+ countries worldwide. We handle all export documentation including commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and country-specific compliance paperwork. We use air freight for urgent orders and sea freight for larger shipments.

How much can I save compared to buying new OEM equipment?

Typically, buyers save 40–60% compared to new OEM pricing. The exact savings depend on the equipment category, brand, and specific model. Contact us with your requirement and we will provide a transparent comparison.

Can you source specific parts not currently listed on your website?

Yes. Send us the model number, brand, and quantity required via email or WhatsApp. Our sourcing team checks current inventory and upcoming vessel arrivals. We respond to sourcing inquiries within 4 business hours.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept bank transfer (SWIFT/TT), PayPal, and other methods by arrangement. Full payment or agreed deposit is required before dispatch. International orders are invoiced in USD.

How quickly can you dispatch an order?

Most in-stock items are dispatched within 6-12 hours of order confirmation and cleared payment. Urgent orders can be processed with priority dispatch. Contact us with your timeline and we will advise on the fastest available option.

Do you provide documentation with your products?

Yes. All orders are shipped with a commercial invoice, packing list, and condition notes. Where available, we also provide original product documentation, test records, and certificates. Additional export documentation is provided as required by destination country.

Is reconditioned marine equipment legal to use on commercial vessels?

Yes. Reconditioned equipment meeting the operational specifications of the original unit is permitted for use on commercial vessels, subject to the flag state, classification society, and vessel's maintenance policy requirements. Many ISM Code compliant ship management companies use approved reconditioned parts as standard procurement practice.
