Cardinal Companies International, a family owned and operated company serving the oil and gas industry headquartered in Alvin, TX, announced that they have launched Cardinal Marine.
Cardinal Marine offers ship repair and dockside services, providing 24/7 marine services for topside repairs and is capable of delivering support and services worldwide. Cardinal mobilizes their crews to meet their clients where it’s most convenient for them to berth and perform any repairs and services on-site at local ports throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Without large overhead for a shipyard facility, Cardinal is able to offer clients competitive prices for repairs and services. Cardinal’s mobile platform and support organization enables our crews to perform the largest or smallest of tasks that are required where it is logistically most beneficial to our clients.
Cardinal Marine specializes in mobilizations and demobilizations of OSVs, OCVs and seismic vessels. Cardinal Marine’s management team has a combined 100 years ship repair and operations experience and decades of successful projects. This team is led by Vice President of Operations Captain Jon Calder, alumnus of Massachusetts Maritime Academy with a graduate degree in Ocean Systems Management from MIT.
Calder has extensive experience on and off the water and understands successful operations. “ focus on what I’ve always focused on: enabling the people that work for me – I provide guidance, look at the resources to invest in, but at the same time, try to be as invisible as I can be and enable my people whose biggest qualities are their work ethic, integrity and the ability to do the job."
Also coming aboard Cardinal is Galveston native Stuart Smith serving as executive vice president. Stuart’s brother Sherwin Smith also has joined the team as a project superintendent. “The Smith brothers spent over half of their lives in the repair sector and, with Captain Jon, bring a lot of maritime experience to the table. We couldn’t be happier to welcome them to the Cardinal Family” saidMike Robinson, president & chief executive officer of Cardinal Companies International.
