Gulf Marine Repair was formed by Aaron Hendry in 1988. Its core business is the repair, conversion and modification of large oceangoing U.S. Flag tugs and barges, as well as dredges, small ships, harbor tugs, and other commercial vessels. Gulf Marine’s customer base is largely centralized in Florida’s Gulf Region and the Eastern United States. Gulf Marine has grown in prominence in recent years as one of the top yards on the Atlantic and Florida Gulf Coast for the repair of articulated tug and barge units engaged in transporting liquid bulk petroleum products.
