MFCP Maritime Services for Reliability, Safety, and Performance
Our planet’s oceans are beautiful and vast. But as anyone who operates vessels knows, seas and coasts are harsh environments, too. Saltwater, humidity, and constant ultraviolet (UV) rays can take their toll on people and ship components, corroding them and causing lubrication issues. In addition, boats are exposed to constant vibration and temperature fluctuations.
That’s why companies operating cargo vessels, commercial fishing boats, cruise ships, battleships, oil platforms, terminals, docks, and more rely on Motion & Flow Control Products (MFCP) for a variety of services.
At MFCP, we help keep your vessels running in shipshape condition, operating at peak performance while increasing safety and reducing overall operating costs. We’re your partner for extending the life of your vessels and protecting the investments they're built upon.
Preventive maintenance
The most cost-effective repairs are the ones you never have to make. MFCP works with marine-based companies to develop maintenance programs that identify wear, contamination, and performance issues before they lead to equipment failures, downtime, or operational disruptions.
By routinely inspecting hoses, tubing, hydraulic systems, filtration components, and lubricants, customers can extend equipment life while reducing unplanned downtime. Our experts provide recommendations based on operating conditions and equipment requirements, helping vessels remain productive and compliant while minimizing maintenance costs.
Testing
Proactive testing helps identify potential issues before they become equipment failures at sea. Our technicians follow rigorous procedures and documented processes to verify system integrity, performance, and compliance requirements so vessel operators can reduce risk and improve reliability.
Additionally, some of the smallest components can cause the largest and most costly failures. That's why we provide:
- Tube and hose pressure testing to verify the strength and integrity
- Valve manifold testing to verify integrity and performance
- Filter, regulator, and lubricator (FRL) testing to remove dust, ensure lubrication, and keep everything running at top performance
- Oil testing to support viscosity and grade
Certifications
Certifications, with quality processes and traceable documentation, inspire confidence. We maintain ISO 9000 and 9001:2015 certifications, demonstrating our commitment to operational excellence. That means you can count on your hoses, tubes, manifolds, FRL, and oil when you’re out in the middle of the ocean, when you need them most.
Design, assembly, and fabrication of tubes, hydraulics, and more
Beyond just testing your equipment and oil, MFCP provides design, fabrication, and assembly services. Our fabrication capabilities enable customers to receive custom-built solutions tailored to exact specifications. By combining engineering support with fabrication expertise, we help reduce installation time and improve long-term reliability.
Our MFCP team:
- Cuts, bends, connects, and fastens tubes using high-quality components.
- Handles the machining, design, and installation of hydraulics to keep your vessel lubricated and moving.
- Reviews your processes and products to provide opportunities to be more efficient and effective. Our team is eager to meet your goals, including increasing safety and decreasing overall costs.
Training
MFCP's support doesn't end once equipment is delivered or installed. We provide training to help vessel operators, maintenance teams, and engineering personnel. Our experts share best practices for hydraulic systems, hose management, preventive maintenance, contamination control, and troubleshooting techniques.
Through hands-on instruction and practical guidance, crews can better identify potential issues before they become costly failures. Training programs can be tailored to your operation and equipment, helping ensure personnel understand proper installation, inspection, maintenance, and safety procedures.
Emergency vessel repairs
When a vessel or your fleet is out of commission, you want an experienced crew handling your investments. That’s MFCP. From Alaska to Chula Vista, we come aboard and provide help with your tubes, hoses, hydraulics, and more. Some of our locations have 24/7 service, too.
We work quickly to get your vessels ship worthy again.
Vendor managed inventory (VMI)
We manage your inventory so you can have the parts you need at your fingertips, enabling your vessels and fleet to operate longer. We can also set up your terminal as a central inventory supply point.
More than simply replenishing stock, our team suggests components and works with your team to proactively fill supplies. We’ll even help you forecast demand and arrange the bins at your location.
It's just one more service MFCP provides that makes our customers’ lives easier.

Fast distribution
Shipping parts quickly to various locations can be challenging, especially getting those needed parts to the next dock or terminal. While that may be difficult for other suppliers, it's easy for MFCP.
With locations wherever your fleet operates and strategic partners across the U.S., we get parts to you quickly. That means your fleet isn’t sitting around waiting for parts, and your crew can get back to operations.
Designations
In addition to industry certifications, MFCP maintains designations that enable us to support the U.S. military, including the Navy, Defense, and U.S. Coast Guard.
