Port and shipyard vending in Gibraltar.
Gibraltar's port works long after most offices close. Ship repair teams, bunkering crews, agents and visiting seafarers all need a drink and a bite at odd hours, often a long way from town, so we put the machine where they work.

- Standard for most port businesses

- Reception, mess room, gatehouse

Work that doesn't keep office hours
Gibraltar is one of the biggest bunkering ports in the Mediterranean, and ship repair work in the old naval dockyard runs to tight deadlines. When a vessel is in, shifts stretch and people work through the night.
Most port and yard areas are a long way from a shop, and leaving a secure area for a snack is rarely practical. A machine inside the site means a drink and something to eat are always close, whatever time the job finishes.
Crews need more than snacks
Seafarers coming ashore after weeks at sea often want a few basics as much as a cold drink. Our machines can carry travel toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel, deodorant, shaving gel and dental kits alongside the usual snacks and drinks.
That makes a machine useful at a ship agent's office, in a crew welfare room or at a reception where visiting crews wait. For leisure berths and visiting yachts, see our page on marina vending.
Proven on the waterfront
We already run two machines at Gibdock, one at reception and one in the warehouse, so we know how a working yard operates. We plan restocking around shift patterns and follow the site's security rules on every visit.
Card-only machines mean there's no cash on site, which keeps things simple in secure areas. Crews and staff pay by card, contactless or phone.
We can stock machines differently on different parts of the site, with more water and sports drinks on the yard side and more toiletries where crews come ashore.

- Travel toiletries for crews

03On site
Where the machine goes.
We check your space on a free site visit before anything is agreed. These are the spots that tend to work best. All the machine needs is a standard plug socket.
- 1
Reception
Where visitors, agents and crews arrive. It's also where our first Gibdock machine sits.
- 2
Mess room or canteen
Where yard teams take their breaks, and where a machine covers the hours the canteen is shut.
- 3
Gatehouse or security office
Security teams work every hour of the day, and everyone passes the gate.
- 4
A covered spot on the quay
For crews and dock teams who can't easily leave the quayside. It needs power and some shelter from the weather.
