MarsKeel Technology is here to help you. We supply ballast in a vast array of forms and weights. From custom molded parts to standard ingots and bricks, we offer it all to you. We serve the commercial, naval, and private marine industries.
When it comes to ballast, it is all about what weight and shape suit your needs. We offer a solution that will fit any need, from naval to commercial, to yacht builders and private yachts.
Commercial and Naval Industry
For the commercial and naval portions of the industry, our product range includes both extruded and cast lead options. The extruded option is for uses requiring very large volumes of ballast to a very specific size and weight. The cast option offers the customer a more flexible design and weight range. There is really no limit to the size, shape, or weight that can be cast. The choice comes down to what can be handled by the customer.

Yacht Manufacturers
For yacht manufacturers, we can offer you cast internal ballast if needed. This is not a common way to ballast a boat now, but it is a solution that we offer. Here are a couple of current examples of what we can offer you.
