A Typical Call from Our Client

At 5:00 am on a rainy fall morning James McFadden received a phone call. It was Norway calling. In fact it was an old acquaintance and customer. ”James,” the caller said, ”I have a problem.” It turned out that work was not going well on a Tanker at a dry dock in the Caribbean. It was falling behind schedule. After the call, Jim called his partner, Tom Ferns. Within hours, a crew of 6 Meridian Marine class approved welders had been dispatched. Within a day they had arrived on board and were at work. The next day, 12 more trades people were dispatched to the Caribbean. In total, 18 highly skilled welders and tradesmen worked round the clock to finish the job.

"V.Ships has on several occasions had recourse to use Meridian Marine Industries Inc. of Port CoQuitlam B.C. for ship repair jobs. The nature of those jobs generally involved crop and insert of deck platings and in some cases shell plating. Within my personal experience the services provided have been to a very high standard. Personal attention by Mr. Ferns and Mr. McFadden have resulted in a professional approach to the job and a job well done. In all cases steel works fit up was excellent and welding more than meeting classification requirement. The close working relationship has developed and I would give my personal recommendation to any interested party seeking to employ Meridian Marine." - Technical Superintendent, V.Ships UK Ltd.
