China · shipped from India · 24–48hr
Genuine, OEM and reconditioned marine engine spares delivered to China's main ports — Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Shenzhen, Qingdao and Tianjin — shipped from India, 24–48hr emergency dispatch, 30–50% below OEM list. Sourced beside Alang, the world's largest ship-recycling yard.
Quick answer
Vessels and buyers in China source their marine spares from Wattmare in India because of Alang — the world's largest ship-recycling yard — which yields the deepest pool of genuine recovered and expertly reconditioned parts, typically 30–50% below OEM. We ship from India and air-freight to Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Shenzhen, Qingdao and Tianjin in 24–48hr for emergencies, delivered on board via your local vessel agent or ship chandler.
The smart source
India gives a China-trading fleet something no local hub can: the genuine-parts depth of Alang, a decades-deep reconditioning workforce, low-cost skilled labour, and English-language export documentation — all under one supplier covering every major engine, turbocharger and equipment brand running on vessels calling Chinese ports.
The result is the same genuine, working-spec part, delivered to your vessel at Shanghai, Ningbo or Shenzhen at 30–50% less than OEM list — including obsolete parts no OEM still stocks for legacy tonnage still trading to China.

Genuine recovered parts plus obsolete and discontinued items no OEM still stocks — the deepest pool on earth for older tonnage calling China.
Decades of ship-dismantling and refurbishment expertise, restoring parts to working spec at a fraction of new cost.
Direct from source, no multi-tier distributor markup — typically 30–50% below OEM list, delivered to your Chinese port.
Direct cargo connections from Mumbai and Ahmedabad to Shanghai PVG, Shenzhen, Qingdao and Tianjin — 24–48hr for emergencies.
India sits on the main East-West route to East Asia — short, well-served air and sea transit to China's coastal hubs.
Engines, turbochargers, auxiliaries, governors, separators and heat exchangers — sourced under one roof for your China calls.
India to China — marine spares
Figures are approximate operating ranges; exact pricing, lead time and routing depend on the part, quantity, flight connections and Chinese port.
India's biggest moat
Beside Bhavnagar, the Alang ship-recycling yard dismantles a large share of the world's end-of-life vessels — yielding genuine OEM-original parts recovered from decommissioned engines, plus obsolete items long out of production. On-site skilled labour reconditions them to working spec for a fraction of new-part cost. Wattmare's location beside Alang means the fastest sourcing of recovered and reconditioned parts in the world — air-freighted straight from India to your vessel at Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Shenzhen, Qingdao or Tianjin.

Brands we supply

Can't see your brand? We source across all major makes — send the nameplate and we'll find it.
Three grades, one supplier
Genuine OEM-original: new parts from authorised supply channels. OEM-equivalent: quality-made parts to original spec where genuine is unavailable or cost-critical. Reconditioned: genuine parts recovered at Alang, refurbished to working specification and tested.
Which grade makes sense depends on budget, lead time and obsolescence. For a vessel calling China, reconditioned typically saves 30–50%+ and is often the only route for obsolete parts no longer manufactured for older tonnage still trading to Chinese ports.



Are India parts reliable?


Every recovered part is inspected and cleaned before any reconditioning begins.
Dimensional checks, machining and refurbishment to working specification.
Functional and pressure testing where applicable before a part is released.
Engine source and condition recorded so each part's history is documented.
Parts and documentation aligned to surveyor requirements where required — CCS (China Classification Society), Lloyd's, DNV, BV, ABS, ClassNK.
Inspection photos and condition reports supplied before shipment on request.

Importing to China, made simple
For a foreign-flagged vessel, spares move as ship spares in transit — landed against the vessel's call and delivered on board rather than formally imported, so standard China import duty and VAT often do not apply when correctly documented. We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the bill of lading or airway bill, with HS-code classification and the ship's-stores reference handled for you.
Bonded and free-trade-zone facilities at Shanghai (Yangshan / Waigaoqiao FTZ) and Shenzhen can be used for staging. Your choice of Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP). Your nominated local vessel agent, ship chandler or freight forwarder files the call and manages China Customs; we deliver to vessels, agents and repair yards across China.
Cheaper, not lower quality
Indian pricing is lower because of the source, not the quality. Genuine parts recovered at Alang cost a fraction of newly manufactured OEM; low-cost skilled reconditioning labour undercuts European/OEM workshop rates; buying direct removes multi-tier distributor markup; and competitive Indian freight keeps delivery costs down. It's the same genuine part to the same working spec — typically a 30–50% net saving delivered to China versus OEM list.
From India to China
From Bhavnagar we ship to vessels at every major Chinese gateway — the Yangtze Delta (Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan), the Pearl River Delta (Shenzhen, Guangzhou Nansha), the Bohai Rim (Qingdao, Tianjin, Dalian) and the southeast coast (Xiamen). India's position on the East-West lane to East Asia means short, well-served transit, with neighbouring hubs covered on the same India-out model.

The complete guide
China operates the world's busiest port system — from Shanghai, the largest container port on earth, to Ningbo-Zhoushan, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Tianjin and the Yangtze River ports. Vessels calling China need commissioning, refit, obsolete and emergency breakdown spares alike, and the smartest way to source them is from India. Wattmare ships genuine, OEM and reconditioned marine engine spares from Bhavnagar, beside Alang — the world's largest ship-recycling yard — delivered to your vessel at a Chinese port, typically 30–50% below OEM list.
A China-trading fleet has options — local Chinese stock, OEM direct, or new-manufacture — but for genuine recovered and reconditioned parts, India is unmatched. Alang yields genuine OEM-built components from decommissioned vessels, reconditioned to working spec by a low-cost skilled workforce, with English-language export documentation. That means the same genuine part, delivered to Shanghai, Ningbo or Shenzhen, far cheaper and faster than a long OEM lead time. See our India sourcing hub for the full picture.
We deliver to vessels at every major Chinese gateway: Shanghai (Yangshan and Waigaoqiao — see our Shanghai ship spares page), Ningbo-Zhoushan, Shenzhen (Yantian, Shekou, Chiwan), Guangzhou Nansha, Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Dalian and the Yangtze River ports — plus ship-repair yards in the Bohai Rim, Yangtze Delta and Pearl River Delta. Delivery is on board via your nominated local vessel agent or ship chandler.
For a foreign-flagged vessel, spares move under the ship-spares-in-transit regime — landed against the vessel's call and delivered on board rather than formally imported, so standard China import duty and VAT often do not apply when correctly documented. Bonded and free-trade-zone facilities at Shanghai (Yangshan / Waigaoqiao FTZ) and Shenzhen can be used for staging. We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, ship's-stores reference and bill of lading/airway bill, handle HS classification, and support your chosen Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP); your local agent files the call and manages China Customs.
Genuine OEM-original parts are new from authorised channels — for class-critical or warranty-sensitive needs. OEM-equivalent parts are made to original specification where genuine is unavailable or cost-critical. Reconditioned parts are genuine parts recovered at Alang, then cleaned, machined and rebuilt to working spec and tested — near-new performance at a fraction of new price, with a documented inspection trail. We quote all three tiers so you can choose for each China job.
When an engine model leaves production, genuine spares often only survive on decommissioned ships. Because vessels of every era arrive at Alang, India is frequently the only place a genuine legacy part — an older MAN B&W, a Sulzer RND/RTA component, a vintage ABB VTR turbocharger or a discontinued Woodward governor — can still be found and reconditioned to working spec for older tonnage still calling Chinese ports.
Main engines: Wärtsilä/WinGD, MAN B&W, Sulzer, Mitsubishi UEC. Turbochargers: ABB, MHI/MET, Napier, IHI, KBB. Auxiliary engines: Caterpillar, Daihatsu, MAK, Bergen, Yanmar. Governors: Woodward. Separators and heat exchangers: Alfa Laval and GEA. If your make isn't listed, the nameplate is enough for us to source it for your vessel in China.
The saving is structural. Recovered genuine parts cost far less than new manufacturing; reconditioning labour in India is low-cost; buying direct removes distributor markup; and competitive freight keeps landed cost down. The part is the same genuine, working-spec component — the price is lower because of where it comes from, not what it is. Faster delivery via our emergency air channel also cuts vessel downtime at a Chinese port, where the real cost lies.
Local Chinese stock is fast but limited on genuine recovered and obsolete parts; OEM direct is reliable but slow and costly for legacy items; China new-manufacture is competitively priced but offers no recovered or obsolete depth; Singapore and the UAE are fast hubs that often re-export Indian parts at a premium. For genuine recovered parts, obsolete availability and the best delivered price — with strong English-language documentation and 24–48hr air dispatch to your Chinese port — India, and Wattmare, is the strongest single source for a China-trading fleet.
FAQ
Yes. Wattmare supplies genuine OEM-original parts, OEM-equivalent parts, and genuine parts recovered from decommissioned vessels at Alang and reconditioned to working specification. Every part is inspected, and we provide photos, condition reports and test results before dispatch to your Chinese port so you know exactly what you are buying.
The saving comes from the source, not lower quality. Genuine parts recovered at Alang cost a fraction of newly manufactured OEM, skilled reconditioning labour in India is low-cost, and buying direct removes distributor markup. The result is typically 30–50% below OEM list for the same working-spec part, delivered to your vessel in China.
For urgent breakdown spares we use emergency air dispatch from Mumbai or Ahmedabad, which can typically reach your vessel agent at a Chinese port within roughly 24–48 hours. Actual time depends on flight connections to Shanghai PVG, Shenzhen, Qingdao or Tianjin, customs release and onward delivery to the berth or anchorage, so we confirm a realistic lead time on every quote. Sea freight runs roughly two to four weeks for larger, non-urgent orders.
We deliver to vessels at all major Chinese gateways including Shanghai (Yangshan and Waigaoqiao), Ningbo-Zhoushan, Shenzhen (Yantian, Shekou, Chiwan), Guangzhou Nansha, Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Dalian and the Yangtze River ports, plus ship-repair yards in the Bohai Rim, Yangtze Delta and Pearl River Delta.
Spares for a foreign-flagged vessel are normally landed as ship spares in transit against the vessel's call and delivered on board rather than formally imported, so standard import duty often does not apply when correctly documented. Bonded and free-trade-zone facilities at ports such as Shanghai and Shenzhen can also be used for staging. Your local agent confirms the route; the final treatment is set by China Customs.
We provide the commercial invoice, packing list and ship's-stores references showing the parts are for a named vessel. Your nominated local vessel agent or ship chandler files the call details and manages China-side customs, so the spares are landed against the vessel and delivered on board. Naming your agent early keeps clearance smooth and avoids delays at the berth or anchorage.
New (genuine/OEM) parts are unused; reconditioned parts are genuine parts recovered from decommissioned engines, then cleaned, machined and refurbished to working specification and tested. Reconditioned parts cost 30–50%+ less and are often the only option for obsolete or discontinued items no longer manufactured — ideal for older tonnage still trading to China.
Main engines: Wartsila/WinGD, MAN B&W, Sulzer, Mitsubishi UEC. Turbochargers: ABB, MHI MET, Napier, IHI, KBB. Auxiliary engines: Caterpillar, Daihatsu, MAK, Bergen, Yanmar. Governors: Woodward. Separators and heat exchangers: Alfa Laval and GEA. If your brand is not listed, send the nameplate — we source across all major makes, including obsolete and legacy units.
No fixed minimum. We supply a single critical part for a vessel down at a Chinese port just as readily as full consolidated orders for fleet operators, chandlers and traders. Send your part list and we will quote whatever you need.
We work with standard international trade payment terms including bank wire/telegraphic transfer, and we can discuss terms suited to first-time versus repeat buyers. Contact us on WhatsApp +91 96647 18068 to agree the method and Incoterms that work for your order.
Yes — this is one of India's biggest advantages. Through Alang's recovered-parts ecosystem we can locate obsolete and discontinued parts that OEMs no longer manufacture, then recondition them to working spec — ideal for legacy engines still in service on older tonnage calling China. Send the make, model and part number and we will check availability.
Every part is inspected, refurbished to working spec, and functionally or pressure tested where applicable, with source and condition recorded for traceability. Where class approval is needed we align parts and documentation to surveyor requirements — including CCS (China Classification Society), Lloyd's, DNV, BV and ABS — and supply condition reports on request. For class-critical items we recommend confirming acceptance with your society before ordering.
Yes. Alongside deep-sea vessels calling Chinese ports, we supply offshore support vessels, coastal operators and ship-repair yards and dry docks in the Bohai Rim, Yangtze Delta and Pearl River Delta, consigning refit and overhaul spares to match your docking or lay-up schedule.
China offers strong new-manufacture volume but limited genuine recovered sourcing and patchy obsolete-part availability. India offers genuine recovered and reconditioned parts and the deepest obsolete-part pool through Alang, the world's largest ship-recycling yard — typically 30–50% cheaper, with English-language documentation and 24–48hr air dispatch to your Chinese port. For genuine, hard-to-find and cost-critical spares, India is the stronger source.
