Welcome to the 6th edition of the Marine Stores Guide, the industry bible for the maritime supply chain.

The new edition builds on the MSG’s enviable legacy, cementing its position as the world’s leading reference source for maritime purchasing and supply.

More than 3,000 codes have been added to the new edition, meaning the MSG now contains in excess of 43,000 products. New lines have been added to reflect the changing demands of the marine industry, taking in new welfare items, anti-piracy products and nautical equipment regulations.

The ever-growing content has been coupled with advances in technology that have seen many companies migrating their purchasing facilities to e-commerce trading platforms.

As such the Marine Stores Guide Data Licence continues to grow in both reach and application, allowing users to specify products quickly and effectively using unique data imported into their purchasing systems.

With illustrations, specifications, product information and comparison tables for major manufacturers the Marine Stores Guide 6th edition provides an invaluable reference for those involved in the commercial shipping industry.
