110V outlet broken

The power outlet that sits beside the cooler in the back is broken so I need to replace it.
Where can I order such outlet? I can send it to an adress in US so no need for intercontinental post...
Suggestions..?
Thanks in advance

    Can you send a picture? Normally they use standard receptacles (power outlets) used for homes ... and they are connected to a GFI protected circuit.

    The one that is broken is the one you see at the bottom in the left corner.
    Same sort in in the lavatory.

    It is a standard 15 amp US duplex outlet. Would you want an Amazon link?

    I've replaced some of the outlets in the cabin with outlets that also have USB sockets.  The originals I replaced seemed to be generic AC outlets.

    He's in Sweden.

    Jandav, yes as Greg says you need a 15 amp US duplex outlet/receptacle.  But one of your receptacles will be a GFI ... I'm not sure if it is that one. Does it have a LED light on it, with a reset button?  Basically, these are used in homes here in North America, they are standard receptacles ... but you'll probably need to buy it on Amazon, as Greg says ... I'm fairly confident you can get it delivered to Sweden.

    @jandav please correct me if I'm wrong, but does Sweden not have a 230V electrical system? How does that work with the boat? Do you have a built in converter? Does the marina have 110V available? Have the outlets been switched over?

    @Willhound, You are right, in Sweden we use 230V. I have a 230 to 110 converter so I use 110V in the boat. The 110 to 230 project has not started ;-)
    @MarkB What is GFI ? the outlet has not any green LED or reset button.
    I will be in US in a week so I can order at any e-shop that deliver within US..
    The suggestion to bye a outlet with USB preferable...
    Was home depot.com a joke or a good suggestion?
    TIA

    @jandav , here is what you need from Amazon.

    All of the outlets are looped together starting at the GFCI which is at the Galley. That is the one with a green LED on it.

    Doesn't mean he will be near a Home Depot.
