Our Team
Our management team has a deep institutional knowledge of Great Lakes vessel safety, ship operations, marine engineering and maintenance and collectively more than 300 years of experience in the shipping industry.
Though they may be sporting suits and ties now, many have worked their way up the ship’s ladder so to speak, earning degrees from maritime colleges, U.S. Coast Guard licenses and sailing aboard vessels.
