Message from the President
|
It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the Gulf Marine Repair shipyard and introduce you to our facility through this Web site. As you can see, we offer comprehensive, full-service accommodations, staffed by a team of professional, experienced personnel led by a top notch, “hands on” supervisory cadre. Gulf Marine Repair Corp. commenced operations in 1988 when we assumed the Tampa Port Authority lease held since 1964 by the former firm, Gulf Tampa Drydock Co., where the bulk of the current supervisory and middle management staff originally began their careers. Our game plan has always been to deliver your equipment back to you on schedule and on target with your anticipated budget constraints. We firmly believe in keeping things simple and practicable and working on an informal format with a minimum amount of “red tape.” Thus we are able to implement changes on a same-day basis so as to minimize delays. You may be assured there will be no hassles or other impediments to a quality, down-to-earth work product. We strive to develop lasting relationships with our clientele. Our market niche has always been integrated tug and barge units, with heavy emphasis on OPA 90 double hull conversions for liquid cargo, as well as dry bulk ITB carriers. Our resident on-board marine engineering staff can handle any design/build project in timely fashion. Gulf Marine is in the process of converting the former Tampa Electric Co. Hookers Point power plant facility into additional shipyard space and moving a portion of our facility there. We are currently refurbishing the infrastructure and constructing 1,100 ft of new deep water bulkhead. We place heavy emphasis on quality control, safety and environmental matters, and devote a strong focus on training personnel on these issues. Environmental controls in Florida are among the most stringent in the nation.
You many rest assured that you will get your
money’s worth at Gulf Marine and we look forward to serving you.
