Marine and Offshore Enclosures
Marine environments require enclosures for navigation systems, automation, and communications in harsh environments. ETA provides protection where water, salt, and wind are constant challenges, ensuring reliable performance and long-term durability in demanding marine conditions.

Built for Demanding Marine Environments
Marine and offshore environments demand enclosures that resist corrosion, moisture, salt exposure, and vibration. ETA Enclosures USA offers stainless steel and sealed enclosures tailored for coastal facilities, offshore platforms, marine vessels, and dockside automation systems.
What Makes an Enclosure Suitable for Marine or Offshore Use?
Marine environments are punishing. Enclosures must be designed to endure:
- Constant exposure to saltwater and humid air
- High levels of UV radiation and wind-blown particles
- Vibrations from engines or dockside machinery
- Limited access for regular service
ETA offers AISI 304L and 316L stainless steel enclosures with IP66/NEMA 4X protection, tight door gasketing, and reinforced construction to deliver reliability in these conditions.
How Are ETA Enclosures Used in Marine and Offshore Environments?
Our enclosures support a range of systems across marine and offshore operations:
- Shipboard control panels and power distribution systems
- Fuel monitoring and pump control units
- Navigation and communication systems
- Offshore drilling platform automation panels
- Dockside and port electrical infrastructure
ETA enclosures protect critical components while enabling safe operation in confined or corrosive locations.
What Design Features Matter Most in Marine Applications?
To meet marine requirements, enclosure design must emphasize:
- Corrosion resistance (stainless steel 316L for most demanding areas)
- High ingress protection (IP66 or higher)
- Smooth finishes and minimal seams to reduce salt buildup
- Secure locking and grounding systems
- Optional rain hoods, ventilation, and plinths for system integration
ETA enclosures also feature field-proven hardware and modular accessories for flexible deployment.
