Since 2012, Freeman Marine has been part of AdvanTec Marine, a Canadian marine technology group that also includes Diamond Sea Glaze, Steelhead Marine, Pacific Coast Marine, USA Sliding Doors, and Manly Marine.
With a strong presence in the Scandinavian marine market since 1989, Bövik Marin has delivered thousands of Freeman deck hatches to professional users. Key customers include the Swedish Navy, Swedish Coast Guard, SSRS (Swedish Sea Rescue Society), Swedish Transport Administration, Swedish Police, as well as ferry operators, fishing vessels, and commercial workboats. Freeman Marine hatches are known for their robust construction, watertight performance, and durable aluminum design. Their flush-mounted profile ensures a clean deck surface while minimizing tripping hazards and improving onboard safety. The product range includes multiple sizes and configurations, from compact 8-inch round deck hatches to large 36 x 36-inch square hatches. Deck rings are available in several materials to suit different installation requirements:
-
Aluminum rings for welding or bolting into aluminum or fiberglass decks
-
Steel and stainless steel rings for welding into steel decks
Hinged deck hatches are available from 18-inch diameter and upwards. Thanks to their innovative hinge design, the hatch can open beyond 180 degrees, allowing it to rest flat on the deck when fully open. This eliminates the need for gas struts or support arms, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance. Our product offering online includes:
-
Complete deck hatches with rings
-
Deck hatches without rings
-
Loose deck rings
-
Spare parts and replacement components
-
Gaskets, seals, and bushings
