Maritime Preservation Ltd.

Maritime Preservation Limited was founded in Trinidad in 1994 as a response to a contract awarded by a Florida based cruise line to convert a meteorological research vessel into a modern sailing passenger ship that met all relevant international regulations including American Bureau of Shipping, US Coast Guard and Public Health.

Once the vessel was successfully delivered our now experienced staff renovated the shipyard and began providing general repair and dry dock services focusing on vessels under 2000 tons, including OSV, anchor handling, tugs, barges, general cargo, tankers and general cargo ships.
