Martin Gleeson, the Managing Director of Oceania Marine, expresses his enthusiasm for the year 2023, as the company takes significant strides to further its reputation as a leading force in the maritime industry.

One such milestone is the recent commissioning of a cutting-edge 560T travel lift, a valuable addition to the already established operations at South Shipyard.

Moreover, it instills confidence in yacht owners considering venturing into the Pacific, knowing that their survey, maintenance,

and ample supplies necessary for large-scale refit projects, Oceania Marine boasts all the resources needed to accomplish various tasks, be it a meticulous superyacht re-paint, a comprehensive 12-year survey, or a technical stop for essential maintenance. Should yachts require port entry and reliable yacht support services, Oceania Yacht Agency stands ready to provide assistance and ensure a smooth experience.
