TESTIMONIALS


"I felt it was necessary to personally bring to your attention the above-and-beyond quality level of boutique projects that were performed by your crew in our boutiques on the Coral Princess and Dawn Princess. With the time-challenged planning process we presented your company with all the way to the actual execution of the job, all projects were seamless and completed much to our satisfaction.

I speak for not only myself, but a number of my colleagues when I say that I look forward to working with your team on future boutique refit projects. Please pass on my true appreciation to Phil, Dave, Bill, Ken and the rest of the MSC team that was involved for all their hard work in making these two projects such a success."

"I met this fellow on the job site who was talking like he knew something about the electrical problem we were having. His solution sounded OK, but I dismissed him as just another tech on the job. Later that day it happened again. Same guy, -- a problem, a logical solution, presto - no problem.

For the next two years he did it all. Electrical power, wiring, piping, structure, mechanical installations, engines, generators, fans pumps, ducts, everything you could think of. They gave him a crew. Four great guys who would do anything for him ... and for me. He worked extra late, came in early, answered emails, answered rfi's, told the general contractor when to do what, where, how and why.

Amazing - to this day he is probably one of the smartest gentlemen I have ever met. I am proud to call him a friend. With almost thirty years of marine engineering experience, I have seen it all.

Oh - his name? Mike McCullick or as we say "Chief Mac". You got a problem - call Chief Mac. Trust me because I sure do."

"MSC International was contracted by Grand Bahama Shipyard Limited to undertake accommodation upgrades on board the seismic vessel Ocean Explorer in Sept./Oct/ 2007. This work was supervised by Frank Salvati, despite the scale of the project additional works and the short time available the work was completed on time. Particular credit goes to Mr. Salvati when, just prior to vessel departure, the crew discovered water leaks in the upgraded accommodations areas. Mr. Salvati and his crew had already departed from the shipyard back to Florida however after the emergency call was placed by the undersigned, Mr. Salvati had 5 men, including himself, back in the shipyard within 4 hours following which they worked round the clock for 40 hours to rectify the water leaks. The effort that Mr. Salvati and his team made complete the work on schedule, to accommodate additional works into the same schedule and to response in the event of emergency is to be commended."

"I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your crew for the excellent job that they performed on our ship. They work(ed) with us under very tight schedule, through the entire night and part of the following day, keeping their spirit and good attitude at all times. The supervisor (David), is a person that has in my opinion the most valuable characteristic for someone working in your field. No matter what we asked him to do, at what time, he always answers, 'we will do it' (and he did it)."

These people are willing to go the extra mile to satisfy a customer."

"Maritime Services have worked on several projects, and have done an outstanding job on every one of them. I really do not like to give an endorsement like that, but these guys are great. John Curtis, the project manager in this area, is outstanding. He will hire all local construction workers, if they need to be union, which up here they do, he will get in touch with the local, and pick up the cream of the crop. His knowledge of USCG requirements is also impressive, any problems that have come along, he has handled them entirely."

"This letter is to thank you for the excellent job you and your staff, did with the construction of our 4th Deck Crystal Room . . . Had it not been for your input and recommendations regarding the interior we would not have ended up with the high quality and fine workmanship that we did."

"We are very proud of the finished project; and, in retrospect, the job would have gone smoother had we contracted your company not only for the construction phase but also the interior design of the Crystal Room . . . Mel (Berg) always seemed to find ways to make things work to our advantage with minimal impact to the budget; therefore saving us both time and money."

"We at Par-A-Dice greatly appreciate the extra effort your staff put into the project and look forward to working with you again in the future.
