Marine

The increasing size and complexity of both commercial and military ships, offshore platforms and support vessels, combined with the continual drive for higher performance, shorter repair and maintenance times and increasingly stringent environmental standards requires a dynamic and creative approach to design, manufacture and supply of sealing solutions.

Many operations traverse the globe with operating conditions moving across extremes, from high humidity and temperature through to subzero. This creates greater challenges than most industries where operating conditions remain within a defined range - this necessitates a smarter approach to solutions than might otherwise be employed for static environments.

MacLellan Rubber have developed a wide range of High Integrity materials and unique manufacturing process that provide our marine customers with world class performing solutions for environments that would challenge the norm.

• Extreme pressures and ultra-low temperatures in the transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)


• High risk applications where the potential for Rapid Gas Decompression or Explosive Decompression is high and any form of splitting or cracking would be catastrophic


• Inflatable Seals to guarantee leak free sealing where variable sealing surfaces will not facilitate sufficient load using standard gasket ad bolt technology


• High impact, load bearing and shear resistant pads for transportation and installation of offshore Wind Turbines.

Critical to our success in this industrial sector is our drive to develop new high performing materials that not only achieve the levels of performance required by our customers now, but are capable of meeting future developments in the planning stage. Our veracity in ensuring that the materials are manufactured to the highest technical standards, supported by consistent testing and evaluation, within a clearly defined and well managed supply chain, enable us to guarantee our products and guarantee operators a trouble free operation.
