Ocean Leader does two things for fishing trawlers. We act as your port agent in Korea, and we buy and deliver what the vessel runs on: engine and deck spares, crew provisions and fish packing materials. Take one or take both.
Agency in Busan, Incheon, Donghae, Sokcho and the ports between. Procurement wherever the vessel is.
Our main business. Your trawler arrives, we meet her, and everything that has to happen ashore happens without the master chasing it. Clearance, berth, crew, catch and the money side.
Port entry and departure, customs, immigration and quarantine, and the fishing and catch paperwork the authorities ask for.
Berth booked before arrival, pilotage and tugs ordered, mooring gangs, shifting between quays, waste and sludge landed.
Sign-on and sign-off letters, visas, airport transfers, hotels, medical appointments and repatriation.
Cold store booked, weighing and grading gangs, stevedores, reefer stuffing and the export paperwork.
Fuel and lube oil against your nomination, fresh water alongside, class surveyors attended and yard bookings arranged.
Proforma account before arrival, port dues paid on your behalf, cash to master, and a final account with receipts attached.
We attend in person at the ports below. Anywhere else in Korea, tell us the ETA and we will put a man on the quay.
You do not need us as your agent to order from us, and you do not need to be calling Korea. A trawler needs parts that fit, food that lasts the trip and boxes the catch arrives in dry. We keep those three stocked deep.
Matched by maker and part number, not by description. Send a photo of the plate if you are unsure.
Main engine and auxiliaries, hydraulics, deck machinery and trawl gear, refrigeration, electrical, consumables.
Costed per crew per day and loaded to your trip length, so the galley does not run short or throw food away.
Dry stores, fresh produce, frozen, water and beverages, galley equipment, crew stores.
Sized to your grading line and your buyer's spec. Ordered by the pallet or the bundle, whichever suits the trip.
Fish boxes, cartons, bags and liners, strapping and seals, labels, ice and gel packs.
Turnaround is short and nobody has time to chase a chandler. This is the whole process, and you will know where your order is at each stage.
WhatsApp, email, a spreadsheet, or a photo of the chief's handwritten requisition. Whatever you already have.
Back the same working day, line by line, with a substitute offered wherever an item would hold up the sailing.
Parts, food and packing pulled into one consignment, cold chain held from the store to the truck.
Delivered to your berth at the time you give us, checked against the list and signed off with the chief or the cook.
Agency, supply, or both. Fill in what you know and leave the rest blank. If all you have is a vessel name and a date, send that and we will call you back.
