Provisions for Life

About ASAP

ASAP was founded in 2000 to supply goods and provisions to ships and vessels visiting Mozambique’s main ports. Since then our company has developed into one of the largest and most respected suppliers to the maritime industry in the country.

With offices and bonded warehouses in Maputo, Beira, Pemba and Nacala, we are able to offer its services from all the major ports in Mozambique.

mapIn May 2014 Edgebold DMCC became the majority owner of ASAP. Edgebold has a proven record of operating, funding and developing companies in Mozambique and the SADC region. Under Edgebold’s guidance ASAP growth accelerated rapidly and we opened more offices as well as larger and better equipped warehouses to better service our increasing client base.

Under the guidance of Edgebold, ASAP has also developed a significant wholesale distribution network to supply goods and provisions to inland customers in addition to our traditional offshore ships and vessel supply. Because of the scale of the Company’s operations we have been able to scale up the size of our purchases which have allowed us to pass the subsequent cost savings to our customers.

As growth in ASAP has accelerated, we have been carefully to invest in the size and skill set of our workforce which has allowed us to coordinate the purchase and importation of a wide range of goods from international suppliers effectively and efficiently.

Throughout its growth ASAP has continued to support a wide range of local producers and suppliers of food and provisions. Our local supply chains allow us to ensure we are always able to supply the highest quality of goods and provisions reliably and cost effectively.
Although the supply of food and provisions continue to make up the majority of ASAP’s sales, the Company has recently increased the range of goods it sells. We now offer a wide range of office supplies. Because we have developed our knowledge of how to import effectively we are also often engaged by our customers to import unique goods on an ad hoc basis.

ASAP also offers its customers both bonded and regular secure warehousing and storage facilities in every main port in Mozambique.

Services

As one of the longest standing ship chandlers in Mozambique we have built a great deal of local knowledge and experience. With this experience and the financial backing of our parent company Edgebold DMCC, we are able to confidently and reliably provide comprehensive solutions tailored to our client’s needs.

Supplying Bonded Storage Services for International Clients

Our company has a national bonded warehouse licence and can offer services to external international third party clients to bond international goods which are intended for re-export under the rules and regulations established by the Mozambican Tax Authorities.

Importing Supplies & Provisions for Clients in Mozambique

In addition to supplying clients offshore, our company has recently started to import and supply inland customers. ASAP LDA. now offers imported products after paying the respective customs and import taxes to hotels, restaurants, catering customers and other retail businesses within Mozambique. Due to our experience in international import, logistics and transportation we see this as a significant and exciting new sector for ASAP LDA.

Supplying Foods, Provisions & Other Goods to Offshore Ships & Offshore Platforms

We stock and supply a wide range of bonded provisions for ships and offshore platforms purchased internationally. In addition to our imported frozen and dry goods, we provide fresh produce and diary locally. We are one of the few companies with a bonded licence for the whole country and can therefore offer competitive prices on international goods for export to offshore ships and rigs. We also provide a wide range of maintenance materials as well as qualified technicians for minor ship repairs.

Locations & Contact

We have established ourselves strategically in the main ports in Mozambique and our headquarters are in Mozambique’s capital, Maputo. Our focus on efficient and well-placed local distribution centres across the country ensures that we provide a timely delivery of provisions and services where you need them.
