Fishing vessel and trawler spare parts for South Africa

Yes. We arrange freight to the port, airport, clearing agent, forwarder or ship agent you nominate anywhere in South Africa. Urgent items usually travel by air — typically to Cape Town International or OR Tambo in Johannesburg — and heavier or planned items by sea freight, usually to the Port of Cape Town. Routing and costs are quoted per RFQ.

The importer or its appointed clearing agent declares the goods to the South African Revenue Service. We provide the commercial invoice, packing list and, on request, HS codes and the origin information available for the goods, and can work directly with your clearing agent.

Possibly. The EU–SADC Economic Partnership Agreement covers South Africa, but whether a specific item qualifies depends on its origin under the agreement's rules and on valid proof of origin. We confirm what origin documentation is available for each item; your clearing agent decides how the goods are entered.

No. Some equipment manufacturers, Wärtsilä among them, run service operations in Cape Town, and for warranty work or field service those channels are often the right choice. Buyers use us for multi-maker parts lists, items not available locally, obsolete references and European sourcing that would otherwise need several separate inquiries.

Often, yes. Many hulls in the fleet are decades old and have been refurbished. We search distributor and surplus stock and, where appropriate, offer equivalents — always identified on the quotation. A drawing, measurements or a photo of the old part makes these searches much faster.

No. Passat Gear Trade is based in Lublin, Poland, and has no South African office or stock. We work by email and phone; direct contacts are on our team page.
