Chater Marine Supply Ltd.
Who We Are
Chater marine started in 1968 by George Chater. We started as a butcher shop, but because of our quality, we were soon approached by the Canadian Navy to supply some of their vessels with fresh meat proteins. Due to their satisfaction with our quality and delivery rates, they started to inquire on other food items such as produce, dry goods, and then eventually duty free (bonded). We stepped up. From there, we added technical items to our offerings, and by 1972 we had become a full line ship chandler providing services such as Provisions, Bonded, Technical, Safety, Spare Part transfers, and Storage to all types of commercial and navy vessels, both foreign and domestic. In 2009, the company was succeeded by Charbel Chater, who continues the tradition today.
Today, we continue to provide those services to The world's Navy ships of all sizes, including aircraft carriers, submarines, amphibious craft and many more. We pride ourselves on being their 'go to' point of contact in Halifax. We also provide services to off-shore platforms, cargo vessels, and tankers.
There is simply no other company in Halifax that has handled more, or larger vessels than we have.

Part Sourcing - Many vessels have hard to find gear — Like really difficult. Many times manufacturer's OEM parts are quite cost prohibitive or simply not available. This is one of our most valuable services, as we will search and consult with our experts to see what we can offer as a cross solution, since sometimes this type of gear is critical/crucial for ship operations.Our Commitment
