It takes a marine medical supply company with a worldwide network to rise to the
special needs of Cruise Ships, Tankers and Freighters at sea. Schedules are not standardized and they are not always at regular Ports of Call. This makes it difficult, even impossible for some suppliers to adequately service these ships. At Universal, our worldwide network is ready for the task.

Over our 35 year history, we have established good working practices with many
foreign governments and their customs authorities. This has enabled us to set up
Ports of Service all over the world.

This is one of the most important features of our service to the industry. It guarantees you one competitive  price, no matter where in the world you are. Buying medical supplies in foreign countries can be extremely expensive.

Universal is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to improve services to the maritime industry.   One of the ways we have done this is by the introduction of our Marine Medicines Management System.  A comprehensive solution to monitor medicines and equipment on board your ship.   This live system allows your crew member to view all items in the ships medical locker, hospital or first aid stations around the vessel.  Manages expiry dates, logs batch numbers, creates replacement requests and maintains an expired drug list for disposal.

Our continued development is extremely important to us, working to international standards such as ISO 9001 and other recognised quality and management systems.
