DockPro has been awarded the Boating Industry Association (BIA) Sustainability in the Boating Industry Award.
The Australian business manufactures on the Gold Coast using recyclable, marine-safe materials.
The company’s primary material, HDPE, has a 50-year lifespan and is fully inert. The company has also carried out investments in lean manufacturing and automation, including the introduction of its Pathfinder CNC machine, to improve production efficiency, reduce power consumption and minimise waste.
The award was in recognition of family-owned business which has long been dedicated to designing, manufacturing and servicing innovative marine solutions that protect boat hulls from marine growth, said BIA CEO Andrew Fielding.
Our love for the water inspired this business from the very beginning.

DockPro’s Sandra Barber said the company’s product range has been developed to make boating easier, cleaner, and more sustainable for vessel owners across Australia and around the world.
“We would like to thank the BIA for the award and our team back home will be very excited,” she said.
“As lifelong boaties, our love for the water inspired this business from the very beginning. We’re passionate about what we do and are committed to protecting our ocean so it can be enjoyed for years to come.”
DockPro’s flagship product is SeaPen which was launched in 2004 with thousands installed worldwide.
Based on typical antifouling usage DockPro estimated SeaPens have collectively prevented around 300,000 litres of antifoul from being applied.
