Ocean Asia Inc Ltd.

Ocean Asia Inc was created in 2005 as the result of a market need for a multi-tasking and international Asian-based marine operation, capable of offering its clients world-wide, the highest standards of service in the very competitive and specialized Asian-sourced marine market.

China is now offering many advantages for the construction of new vessels. High-quality materials, internationally known machinery & equipment and fine workmanship are all available and utilized. Price/quality ratios are excellent, but there is an underlying need for sound quality control.

This rapidly growing capability has created a need for the services offered by Ocean Asia Inc, with experienced personnel who are capable of offering professional advice to its clients on all aspects of marine applications, in order to develop and benefit from this rapidly growing side of the leisure industry.

With a vast wealth of experience in the marine industry, Edwin G Palfrey the founder and CEO of Ocean Asia Inc has over the past 35 years skippered motor and sailing yachts, managed yachts, built yachts and sold yachts throughout the World.
