Fastening the Future of Shipbuilding
Shipbuilding has long been a symbolism of artistry, strength, and resilience. Sea vessels must be built to withstand the corrosive nature of saltwater, constant mechanical strain, and the unpredictable nature of the open sea. In this industry, fasteners aren’t secondary, they're the primary components that allow for such craftsmanship. Whether it's holding together the hull of a commercial tanker or securing the deck fittings on a sailboat, the hardware you choose defines the vessel’s integrity. At South Coast Fasteners, Inc., we supply shipbuilders with fasteners engineered specifically for marine conditions. Our inventory boasts a full line of fasteners that are designed to meet the specific demands of saltwater, impact, and time. Paired with our full line of industrial safety supplies, we support not just ship construction but the underdogged workers behind it all.
Built for the Sea, Backed by Science
Saltwater is one of the most known natural forces when it comes to corrosion. That’s why material selection is imperative in shipbuilding fasteners. We stock a wide range of marine-grade materials that are designed to meet specific strength, weight, and corrosion-resistance requirements.
Stainless steel (18-8) is the industry standard for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength and it's perfect for structural applications and deck hardware. Silicon bronze and brass offer marine dependability and are usually chosen for below-waterline use or where electrical conductivity is a present factor. Aluminum fasteners reduce weight without compromising on usage, making them ideal for lightweight vessels. Materials should be selected for performance and longevity. If you’re fabricating a research vessel, outfitting a military platform, or restoring a classic wooden boat, we provide fasteners designed to last in any marine environment. Our full line of Strong-Point® specialized screws is available to expedite on-site repairs or installations requiring corrosion-resistant fastening. Our Made in the USA product line offers products available for domestic sourcing requirements.
