Ship Supply at the Port of Los Angeles

Alpha Ship Supplies coordinates provisions, deck and engine stores, technical supplies, and marine spare parts for vessels calling at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro Bay. Requisitions are managed from Houston with West Coast delivery arranged for each port call.

Supplying Container Ships on Tight Schedules

Los Angeles is one of the largest container gateways in the United States, and many calls are liner services working to fixed berth windows. When a vessel is only alongside for a short time, stores need to be quoted, packed, and cleared for terminal entry before arrival. Sending the requisition several days ahead of ETA gives the most options.

The port also handles tankers at liquid bulk terminals, along with breakbulk, Ro-Ro, and cruise traffic, each with its own terminal rules.

Terminal and Anchorage Deliveries

Vessels may wait at San Pedro Bay anchorages before berthing. Depending on the schedule, delivery can be made at anchor by launch or alongside once berthed. We confirm the most practical option with the port agent.

Sending a Los Angeles Requisition

Include the vessel name and IMO, terminal and berth, ETA and ETD, agent details, and the requisition list. If the vessel calls at both Los Angeles and Long Beach on the same rotation, tell us which berth suits delivery best.
