We supply UK and EU shipyards with the full range of Turkish-manufactured marine deck machinery — winches, cranes, davits, hatch covers, hydraulic equipment, and propulsion systems — all DNV/LR/BV/ABS certified and priced 25–40% below Scandinavian equivalents, with zero tariffs and weekly container services to UK and EU ports.
Seaway Ship Services provides UK and EU shipyards with direct access to Turkey's world-class marine deck machinery manufacturing base — a sector with 40+ years of continuous production experience and full classification society approvals from DNV, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, and ABS. Turkish deck machinery manufacturers operate from facilities spanning 42,000m²+ with dedicated production lines for anchor and mooring winches, deck cranes, rescue boat and life raft davits, hatch covers, hydraulic deck equipment, and propulsion components.
Products are priced 25–40% below equivalent Scandinavian alternatives while meeting identical classification and SOLAS standards. For the UK's Royal Navy FSS programme, cruise ship outfitting, offshore wind vessel building, and EU naval programmes — all of which require large volumes of DNV/LR-certified deck equipment — Turkish supply offers an immediate, proven, and cost-competitive solution. Turkey's deck machinery sector has co-produced submarine torpedo tube sections in collaboration with defence contractors, demonstrating the precision engineering capability and quality management that underpins the entire manufacturing base.
Every unit we supply is shipped with its individual classification society certificate, factory acceptance test (FAT) documentation, and full technical drawings. Our export team handles all A.TR customs documentation, ensuring zero tariff liability for EU and UK buyers from day one.
A comprehensive range of marine deck machinery sourced from Turkey's leading manufacturers, all carrying current classification society approvals and available for prompt export.

Six structural reasons why Turkish deck machinery manufacturing is the optimal supply source for UK and EU shipyard procurement teams.
Marine deck machinery manufacturing in Turkey dates to 1982, with a continuous export track record and accumulated engineering expertise across every equipment category.
Equivalent certified quality at significantly lower cost than Norwegian and Swedish competitors — a structural price advantage driven by manufacturing economics, not compromised specification.
Large-footprint manufacturing facilities with comprehensive quality management systems, in-house testing equipment, and capacity to fulfil multiple simultaneous vessel outfit orders.
Co-production of submarine torpedo tube sections with NATO defence contractors demonstrates the precision engineering and quality management capability of Turkish deck equipment manufacturers.
Every unit shipped carries its individual DNV, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ABS class certificate — not batch certificates, but unit-specific documentation for traceability.
Zero import tariffs to UK and EU under the UK-Turkey FTA and EU Customs Union respectively. A.TR movement certificates issued as standard, eliminating any customs duty liability.
Turkish deck machinery is particularly well-suited to the following programmes and buyer categories, where certified equipment at competitive price points can deliver immediate procurement savings on large capital equipment lists.
Deck machinery shipments from Istanbul to UK and EU ports on project freight and container services. Full A.TR documentation and class certificates accompany every consignment. Oversize and heavy-lift shipments handled via Ro-Ro and project cargo routes.
