Brown Ship Chandlery offers you complete support services for both vessel and crew in every port along the northeast coast from Eastport Maine to New Haven Connecticut.

Brown Ship Chandlery was established in 1941 to serve the urgent needs of Portland's wartime waterfront, then a major cargo port, naval base and shipbuilding center. During WWII, Portland became an important oil terminal serving northern New England and Eastern Canada via the Portland/Montreal pipeline.

Today, Brown Ship Chandlery is proud to be a part of Portland's maritime resurgence offering ship owners a comprehensive single source service for cargo vessels, oil tankers, and barge/tug fleets.

We provide fast delivery with our freight boat and truck fleet. No harbor from the coast of Maine to New York City is more the 24 hours from our Portland warehouse.

Because Portland is a major distribution point for both consumer and industrial goods, Brown Ship Chandlery has an immediate source of supply for a wide range of services and merchandise to satisfy virtually every vessel need. We are supplied by some of the largest wholesale distributors in North America and offer you immediate delivery at competitive prices.

Brown Ship Chandlery operates from offices, storage, and repair facilities on Union Wharf. When you have maintenance and repair problems, look to Brown Ship Chandlery. We are your best friend in port. We will provide licensed welders, mechanics, and electricians as well as all the equipment and materials you need to get under way again, with minimum delay. Let Brown Ship Chandlery supply your vessel the next time you travel to a North East Port!!
