When the ship is the hospital,
the equipment has to work.
Beyond our core commercial services, Ortraco runs a specialty practice in maritime medical equipment — a category we've worked in for over a decade. If your vessel needs reliable medical oxygen or a rescue-ready stretcher system, you've come to one of the most experienced suppliers in the niche.
One more thing we handle, end-to-end.
Commercial execution is our core business. Maritime medical equipment is where our founder spent a decade before Ortraco — and it's a corner of the industry where we still operate as a direct supplier, working with the manufacturers whose gear sits on hundreds of vessels around the world.
You don't need to learn the regulations, source the gas, qualify the stretcher against a class survey, or map it to your flag state's requirements. Tell us the vessel, the flag, and the crew complement. We come back with a complete, compliant, ship-ready solution.
10+ Years of Niche Depth
A decade inside the maritime medical category means we know which products survive a real offshore deployment and which look good only in a brochure.
Compliance-First
MLC 2006, SOLAS, IMO MSC.1/Circ.1588, flag-state medicine chest lists, MED Wheel Mark where applicable — handled as part of the delivery.
Ship-Ready Delivery
Gear arrives configured, certificated, and ready for the next audit. No missing documents, no rework, no last-minute failed surveys.
MEDOXMARINE
Medical oxygen systems built for the sea
Medical oxygen at sea isn't a retail product. Cylinders have to pass through ports, customs, and bunkering regimes that weren't designed for medical gas. Regulators corrode. Masks perish. And when a crew member needs O2, there is no second chance.
MEDOXMARINE is engineered specifically for shipboard use — corrosion-resistant hardware, cylinder handling compatible with vessel bunkering procedures, and a full documentation package matched to MLC 2006 medical-chest requirements and flag-state guidance.
- Marine-grade regulators, humidifiers, and delivery sets
- Cylinder logistics & bunkering support in major EU ports
- Full compliance file: O2 purity certs, cylinder test records, training docs
- Scheduled resupply & calibration cycles matched to dry-dock windows
Maritime Medical Stretchers
Engineered for vertical lifts, helidecks, and engine-room extractions
A shipboard stretcher is not a hospital gurney. It has to go up a companionway, through a hatch, onto a winch line from a SAR helicopter, and across a heaving deck in sea-state 5. The wrong stretcher isn't just uncomfortable — it's life-threatening.
We supply rescue stretcher systems with proven service histories across commercial shipping, offshore platforms, and SAR operators — configured for your vessel's lifting points, confined-space geometries, and helideck winch procedures.
- Vertical-lift, horizontal, and confined-space stretcher variants
- Helideck & SAR winch compatibility (certified lift points)
- Corrosion-resistant frames, sealed flotation, rapid-deploy harnesses
- Accessory kits: spinal board, immobilization, hypothermia protection
A decade inside one of shipping's smallest, most unforgiving niches.
Maritime medical is a specialist corner. The vendors who understand it can count themselves on two hands. Before Ortraco was founded, maritime medical equipment was our founder's full-time business for more than ten years — which means we've sold, certified, resupplied, and audited this gear across most of Europe's commercial fleet.
That depth shows up in the places most suppliers miss: picking the right regulator for a bunker port with non-standard fittings, flagging an MLC gap before the port-state inspector does, or knowing which stretcher variant actually fits the engine-room hatch on a specific vessel class.
You don't run the project. We do.
The single biggest thing we hear from crew managers and superintendents: they don't have time to become medical-equipment experts. They shouldn't have to. Give us the vessel, the flag, and the timeline — we handle the rest.
