The full range of Ocean Venture Seals’ products will now be manufactured, sold and serviced by subsidiary, Stone Marine Seals Ltd.

Don Quilliam, managing director, Stone Marine Shipcare, who will also head up Stone Marine Seals, said: “Together with our associates at Stone Marine Services, we have moved overnight from being a company that services and repairs seals to one that provides a complete service including original and retro-fit supply.”

He added: “Ocean Venture Seals manufactured first class products and with our substantial production capability we will now be in a position to ensure that these seals can be supplied exactly when required by vessel owners, and in quantity.”

In addition, John Lewis, who was technical director at Ocean Venture Seals, will be joining Stone Marine as operations director.
