Client Testimonials

As an oil major, we rely on vessel inspections of our third party suppliers to give us assurance that they can safely transport our products. MARCOM’s vessel inspectors always provide timely, professional observations that our vetting and clearance team can use. MARCOM is definitely one of our key partners in the industry and we are stronger and more reliable for having them at our service.

Barge Assurance Superintendent, BP Shipping


For 6 years I worked for an inland operator, during this time I had the privilege of working with most of MARCOM’s inspectors. Over the course of 100 + inspections on both tugs and barges I never had any complaints from shorestaff or crew members about any of MARCOM’s inspectors. All inspectors were at all times courteous, well-mannered/tempered, and accommodating to the constant change in scheduling of an inspection and have always been willing to answer any questions I may have had regarding an inspection observation or industry related question.  For the past year I have worked for an oil major, in scheduling inspections MARCOM has always been quick to respond to an inspection request  as well as answering and explaining any questions we may have regarding an observation.
