Every Hose Tagged. Every Hose Tracked. No More Guessing Whats Onboard.
Every Hose Tagged. Every Hose Tracked. No More Guessing Whats Onboard.
-About us
-Our Approach
CN Hydraulics is a mobile hydraulic hose workshop based in Barcelona, serving superyachts across the Western Mediterranean. Hoses are fabricated in the workshop or dockside, whichever gets your vessel back in service faster.
Every hose we install is tagged onboard with hiTAG hose management — spec, install date and service history held on file. When your vessel is due, replacement hoses are ready before you arrive.
-Our Story
CN Hydraulics was founded by Callum Noble, after years spent working hydraulics both at sea and ashore - including as a superyacht engineer, holding a commercial EOOW licence, and across specialist hydraulic companies covering hose fabrication, system diagnostics and component supply.
That experience surfaced a clear gap: vessels requiring hydraulic repairs are too often stuck waiting on yard schedules, when what they need is a fast, fully equipped response at the dockside.
It also revealed how much value proper hose management brings onboard. Our hose tagging system gives every hose a traceable identity - spec, install date, service history - so replacements are faster, safer and never guesswork.
CN Hydraulics exists to bring both of these together: rapid response hydraulics service, backed by a hose management system built for how super yachts actually operate.

Why management matters
Hoses are tagged onboard, so the data travels with the vessel — information everywhere, not locked in one workshop. An easy, user-friendly mobile app puts every record at your fingertips, fully managed by CN Hydraulics from tagging to replacement. It's also a safety net: if a hose fails at sea, the exact spec is already on file, so a correct replacement can be fabricated and fitted fast in an emergency — no guesswork, no delay.

Client Reviews
“
Whilst working onboard for another job, CN Hydraulics managed to get us two large hydraulic hoses late on a Friday afternoon for an elevator. This saved a foreign technician from staying until the following week — saving us time and money. Highly recommended for quality and speed.

I required a very specific set of hoses in a hurry. Callum was very responsive with attention to detail and supplied me with the hoses very quickly to the correct specification.

The hose management system that Callum has installed is very useful for a boat with a lot of hoses (hydraulic and other). It makes planned maintenance easy as every hose has a unique identifier. Not only that but the hoses can be ordered without having anyone come on board to check it first because Callum has all the specs saved already, so its as easy as scanning the tag and requesting a replacement. The rest happens behind the scenes. Awesome product and service and can highly recommend!
