Client Testimonials

The ability of Ocean Force to chase up hard to find class approved anchors and hardware with all proper documentation, sets them apart, as does quality of service and willingness to follow things up. Their communication is second to none, and we were able to keep the customer informed as to when the product was arriving. Everything was taken care of including delivery. I would have no problem recommending Ocean Force to anyone that is chasing lifting gear or ships chandlery.
