We do everything we can to keep your costs as low as possible. We work with you to determine an efficient operating speed and delivery schedule with your vessels characteristics in mind. When we travel to and from your vessel we use the most economical mode of transportation, including getting behind the wheel of a rental car and "hoofing it" home.


Every crew member is in a DOT random drug test program and is personally known by the captain.
