The company operates a dedicated rigging division capable of handling complex rope work, including custom splicing and whipping for various marine applications. This technical expertise extends to aesthetic and functional upgrades, such as the fabrication and installation of custom leather covers for steering wheels and helm stations. These services highlight the company’s dual focus on the mechanical readiness of a vessel and the comfort of its operating environment. As a supplier, 22 North Marine distributes a wide array of marine hardware and safety equipment. Their inventory supports essential vessel functions, ranging from deck hardware, blocks, and winches to specialized navigation lights and safety gear. The company acts as a regional distributor for several international marine manufacturers, ensuring that local vessels have access to global standards of equipment. By integrating direct technical services with a robust supply chain of essential components, 22 North Marine establishes itself as a comprehensive partner for vessel maintenance and operational support within the Hong Kong maritime community.
