Established Brisbane Ship Chandler | 54 Years Trading

$250,000 + SAV

Brisbane Region, Queensland

Established Brisbane Ship Chandler | 54 Years Trading

Let’s get straight to it. This is one of Australia’s oldest family owned ship chandlers. Fifty-four years of continuous trading from Brisbane. Client relationships that took decades to build. You’re not starting something - you’re taking over something established.

The credentials matter here. ASSA Founding Member and ISSA Member AU 0004 - this business was among the very first ship suppliers ever registered in Australia. When international vessel operators or their agents need a credentialled Queensland supplier, this business comes up. That’s not marketing - that’s 54 years of showing up.

The numbers stack up. Normalised SDE of $239,000. Revenue $1.53M last year at a consistent 37% gross margin. For $250,000 plus stock, you’re buying 54 years of goodwill, port relationships, ISSA and ASSA accreditation, on-site licenced bonded storage, and a team that knows what they’re doing. That’s a lot of business for not a lot of money.

Ships don’t wait. Neither do the operators who run them. The business has built its reputation on being reliable, responsive, and ready - every time. That reputation is transferable. The current owners aren’t going anywhere fast - a proper, structured handover is on the table to make sure those relationships land with the new owner the right way.
