Helping You Navigate Marine Challenges
If you’re an electrician in the maritime industry, you play a critical role in ensuring the safety, functionality, and efficiency of marine vessels and structures. Harsh marine environments with constant exposure to saltwater, humidity, and extreme temperatures can make electrical work and maintenance challenging. We can help you find the products and technologies you need to withstand these elements.
We’re dedicated to the marine industry and proud to support companies like Seaspan. In 2024, we celebrated with Seaspan as it officially launched Canada’s newest and most advanced research ship, the Canadian Coast Guard’s flagship science vessel, the CCGS Naalak Nappaaluk.
Marine-Grade Cables and Wiring
Marine electrical systems need cables and wiring that are specially designed to resist moisture and reduce corrosion—such as tinned oxygen-free copper wire for humid, wet, and rust-promoting conditions. Coated with protective layers to prevent oxidation, these marine-grade cables stop water from entering and degrading electrical components over time.
We work with leading marine industry manufacturers, like Research Tool & Die Works, a supplier of critical electrical hardware to the Canadian Navy and U.S. Navy. Its high-quality products, including wireways, cable trays, racking systems, and light supports, provide security and support to naval shipyards. In addition, Roxtec’s cable and pipe sealing solutions are ideal for the marine industry, providing certified protection against water, fire, and gas.
Keeping cables and wires well-organized is also crucially important on vessels to keep electrical components safe. Read our essential electrical cable management tips to learn more! Need standard, high-voltage, or specialty cables cut accurately for easy installation? Try our custom, in-branch, wire-cutting services.
Waterproof Connectors and Junction Boxes
Electrical connections in marine environments are susceptible to water ingress and corrosion, potentially causing short circuits, equipment failure, and even fires. Waterproof connectors and electrical junction box enclosures provide a reliable seal against moisture and protect your electrical components.

Safety Equipment
As crew and passenger safety is vital, all vessels need to be equipped with emergency lighting, fire alarms, and lifesaving equipment. But for marine electrical projects, you’ll need to take some extra steps for safety purposes. Our wide selection of protective safety equipment keeps you, and anyone nearby, safe and protected during electrical projects.
