Marine spare parts supplier for Lithuania and the port of Klaipeda
Ship spare parts for Klaipeda calls and yard periods, quoted line by line from Tallinn: maker's original, OEM or verified alternative, with EU documentation and the Lithuanian handover point settled in the RFQ.
Lithuania in context
Lithuanian engine-room requests, handled from Tallinn
Lithuania meets the open sea through one main gateway, so most Lithuanian engine-room enquiries come down to the same practical question: where in Klaipeda the parts are handed over, and to whom. Vessel Core works those enquiries from Tallinn as an independent supply desk, identifying each part from the evidence and pricing it by route.
One EU market, one currency
Lithuania joined the European Union on 1 May 2004 and has used the euro since 2015, as Estonia does. Offers for Lithuanian buyers are written in euro, so offer, order and invoice carry the same currency from first line to last.
No customs border between Tallinn and Klaipeda
Estonia and Lithuania both sit inside the EU customs union. Union goods sent from Tallinn to Klaipeda circulate freely, with no customs duty at the internal border and no customs declaration for the movement itself. How VAT applies depends on the buyer and the use of the parts, and is agreed on the order rather than assumed.
Evidence before price
Every line is identified from plate data, part numbers, drawings or photographs before it is priced. Where a doubt remains, the question goes back to the ship rather than into the offer.
Three routes for each line
A line can be offered as the maker's original, as an OEM part, or as a verified alternative where the owner and class accept one. The routes are shown side by side, so the buyer makes the choice with the facts in front of them.
Lithuanian port
Klaipeda as the RFQ delivery point
Klaipeda is the country's only major seaport and is described as the northernmost ice-free port on the eastern side of the Baltic, so Lithuanian requests seldom wait for the thaw. The port is divided among separate terminals and yards, so the terminal or yard name matters as much as the port name.
Klaipeda seaport
Lithuania's gateway to the sea and open through the winter. A delivery addressed simply to Klaipeda is incomplete: give the terminal, the berth where it is known, and the agent or person who will sign for the goods.
Container and ferry terminals
The port has container berths and ro-pax ferry services linking it with ports in Germany and Sweden. For a ship on a fixed rotation, say which call the parts should meet.
Cruise calls
Klaipeda also receives cruise ships. For a passenger ship on a short call the handover window is narrow, so the receiving party and the berth should be settled before the order is placed.
Shipyards and repair berths
Shipbuilding and ship repair are an established part of the Klaipeda economy, with yards working inside the port. Parts for a ship in a yard period go to the yard gate rather than to the ship's agent, and the yard's own receiving rules then apply.
LNG terminal
A floating storage and regasification unit in the southern part of the port receives LNG imports. Treat a ship serving that terminal as its own delivery address and name it as such in the request.
Engine and equipment makers
Makers reviewed for Klaipeda-bound requests
The makers below are a sample of the equipment Vessel Core identifies parts for; the full list is on the makers page. None of it implies an agreement with any maker: each part is identified and sourced on its own evidence.
MAN
Two-stroke and four-stroke engines: liners, piston rings, fuel injection parts and exhaust valve components, checked against engine type and serial.
Wärtsilä
Medium-speed main and generator engines: cylinder head items, connecting rod bearings, fuel pump parts and control spares.
CAT
High-speed propulsion and generator engines: injectors, gasket kits, water pump parts and filters matched to the arrangement number.
Yanmar
Generator and emergency engines: head gaskets, valves, piston sets and cooling parts matched to the engine model.
ABB
Turbochargers: cartridges, bearings, nozzle rings and filter silencer parts identified from the rating plate.
Alfa Laval
Separators and heat exchangers: bowl parts, disc stacks, seal kits and plate gaskets.

Before you send
What a Lithuanian RFQ should contain
A complete first message saves a round of questions. The RFQ evidence guide explains each item in more detail.
The equipment
Maker, model and serial number of the engine or unit, ideally with a photograph of the nameplate. For a turbocharger or separator, its own plate rather than the main engine's.
The part
Part numbers and the parts-book page they come from, or a drawing reference. Where neither exists, clear photographs of the old part with its markings and a few key measurements taken on board.
The Klaipeda handover
The terminal or yard, the agent or receiving party, and the date the ship is expected or the yard needs the parts. Delivery timing is confirmed in the offer once each route is known.
The documents
Say which certificates are needed, class or maker's, and give the invoice details of the buying entity.
Marine spare parts to Lithuania — common questions
Does Vessel Core supply marine spare parts to Lithuania?
Yes. Vessel Core OÜ is an independent engine-room spare parts supplier based in Tallinn, Estonia. It quotes requests for ships calling at Klaipeda and for yards working there, line by line, with the maker's original, OEM or verified alternative route shown for each part. It supplies parts only and does not take on repair or service work.
Which Lithuanian port are parts addressed to?
Klaipeda is Lithuania's only major seaport, so almost every request is addressed there. Name the terminal or yard, the agent or receiving party and the expected call date, because handover arrangements differ from one part of the port to another.
Are there customs formalities between Estonia and Lithuania?
Both countries are in the EU customs union, so Union goods moving from Tallinn to Klaipeda carry no customs duty at the internal border and need no customs declaration for that movement. VAT treatment depends on the buyer and the use of the parts, and is confirmed on the order.
Can you quote parts for a ship in a Klaipeda shipyard?
Yes. Send the relevant lines of the work list, the equipment data and the date the yard needs the parts. Each line is priced separately, so the owner or the yard can order all of it or only part of it.
