Customer testimonials

“Dockstr has allowed us to easily market equipment without making a commitment to sell until an offer had been received. And finding a buyer has realised value from unused equipment which otherwise may have been scrapped whilst reducing our storage costs.”

ROV Manager

“Dockstr is a convenient and user friendly platform to sell surplus marine equipment or stock. Their team is reactive and makes listing our stock easy and meaningful. After 3 months promoting on Dockstr we have been able to sell our first equipment and Dockstr is now helping us to better communicate our stock list to a global pool of buyers. We plan to make increasing use of their marketplace and explore further possibilities of a wider collaboration with Dockstr.”
