Description: Dear Colleagues
Welcome to the 7th edition of the Marine Stores Guide, the industry standard for maritime
procurement. The International Marine Purchasing Association (IMPA) is proud to introduce this edition
in its 40th Anniversary year.
This edition builds on the MSG legacy, which for more than four decades has seen the unique sixdigit
code offer a neutral platform for those in the maritime industry communicate easily and efficiently.
Now this fully updated new edition cements its position as the world's leading reference guide.
More than 6,000 codes have been added since the 6th edition, reflecting new regulations, changed
industry demands and environmentally friendly items. The MSG contains in excess of 50,000 products
and in order to accommodate all content the composition in this edition has been changed.
MSG has previously listed each product title in 5 different languages, however, in this edition, we
list the English product title only and have created a Multi Language Index in a booklet, which shows each
product name in 6 different languages, English/Spanish/Portuguese/Russian/Chinese/Japanese, and their
corresponding pages. We trust you will find this revision of great use.
The ever-growing MSG contents is linked to the Marine Stores Guide Data License, that allows users
to specify products quickly and effectively using the unique data that can be imported into a procurement
or planned maintenance system.
With illustrations, specifications, product information and comparison tables for major manufacturers
the Marine Stores Guide 7th edition provides an invaluable reference for those involved in the maritime
industry and we trust you will enjoy this new and improved edition. You will find a separate list with
Sections where changes, amendments and new additions have been made.
Recently we found that MSG counterfeit copies are being circulated in the industry, this is naturally
illegal and breaks international copyright law. As an attempt of eradicating the illegal copy books, this
edition has been made with copy protection on some pages, we hope this will not affect your day to day
use of the book.
We are confident you will find this 7th edition to be of great use and value to your business whether
you are a ship operator or ship supplier. If you have any comments or recommendations for further
improvement or if you find any misprint etc, please visit www.marinestoresguide.com where you will find
a customer feedback form and contact details for the MSG team.
Finally, I would like to thank the MSG team at Fuji Trading Co., Ltd. who work relentless- and
tirelessly on creating a common industry standard, thus making life easier for people involved in
procurement both at sea and at shore.
