Making ship repair simpler, faster and more transparent
HotDocks is a B2B marketplace connecting shipowners with the shipyards, workshops and parts suppliers they need — keeping every quote, message and deal in one place.
Why we built HotDocks
Sourcing ship repair and spare parts still runs on scattered emails, phone calls and personal contacts. Finding the right yard or supplier — and being sure you can trust them — takes days, and comparing offers is painful.
We’re bringing it all online: shipowners post a request and get quotes from verified companies, suppliers list their spares and win work — with ratings, history and messaging built in, and contact kept protected until a deal is made.
What we stand for
Trust first
Verified companies, real ratings and visible deal history — so you can choose with confidence.
Transparency
An open marketplace with clear pricing and no hidden games — you always know who you deal with.
Global reach
Buyers and suppliers across 40+ countries and every major port.
Built for shipping
Made by people who understand how ship repair and procurement actually work.
