Based in the strategic port city of Valparaíso, Chile, OCN Maritime Solutions operates as a specialized supplier and manufacturer dedicated to the maintenance, cleaning, and operational readiness of the commercial shipping and port industries. Established in 1997 under the legal entity Oceanquímica S.A., the company has evolved from a local manufacturer into a comprehensive provider of marine chemicals and technical supplies, serving a diverse range of vessels including tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships operating along the South American coast.
The core of the company’s identity lies in its capacity to formulate and produce specialized chemical agents designed to meet the rigorous standards of international maritime trade. OCN Maritime Solutions manufactures a proprietary line of cleaning products, including International Maritime Organization (IMO) approved tank and cargo hold cleaners. These solutions are critical for merchant vessels requiring absolute cargo purity between voyages, particularly when switching between different types of liquid or dry bulk commodities. Beyond routine cleaning, the company produces environmental safety products such as oil spill dispersants and absorbents, supporting fleets and terminals in maintaining compliance with pollution control regulations.
In addition to its manufacturing capabilities, OCN Maritime Solutions functions as a key logistics and technical partner through strategic alliances with global industry leaders. The company serves as an official representative and distributor for major international brands, supplying advanced water treatments, fuel additives, and maintenance chemicals that assist vessels in managing engine performance and emissions. This distribution network extends to industrial adhesives, sealants, and assembly pastes, allowing the firm to support general repair and maintenance activities onboard ships and within shipyard environments.
The organization emphasizes quality management and regulatory adherence in its operations, maintaining certifications that validate its manufacturing processes for maritime and industrial applications. By combining local manufacturing agility with the supply of globally recognized technical products, OCN Maritime Solutions supports the operational continuity of the Chilean and regional maritime sectors, ensuring that vessels can navigate, load, and discharge cargo efficiently while adhering to environmental and safety standards. The company’s presence is deeply rooted in the local maritime ecosystem, providing immediate response capabilities to vessels calling at Chilean ports.
