About us
CTC b.v., a family-owned business founded by Mr. Bob Hortulanus in 1996, initially specialised in tank cleaning and gas freeing equipment. Over the years, the company expanded its offerings to include comprehensive technical ship supplies, such as deck, engine, cabin, and galley stores, serving shipowners and managers of tugboats, general cargo vessels, bulk carriers and chemical/LNG tankers.
In February 2009, CTC became the official representative of Victor Marine Ltd., a UK-based manufacturer of tank cleaning systems, oily water separators, and sewage treatment units. Leveraging an extensive global network, CTC now serves clients worldwide.
With the recent move to a larger warehouse and office facility, CTC has further broadened its services to include storage and distribution. The company can procure and deliver directly to any overseas port via courier, truck, air, or sea freight.
