After the passing of the 2 hurricanes back in September 2017 the demand for construction material to rebuild the island was very prevalent. ACE Marine Contractors Ltd. was awarded 2 major contracts with very stringent completion dates. The major marine transportation company was overwhelmed; therefore, scheduling was a headache as delivery of material was often inconsistent. ACE Marine Contractors Ltd. saw the need to venture into the marine logistic sector. We felt that the company could eliminate shipping costs, while maintaining control over delivery time. This would significantly improve our chances of completing projects within both schedule and budget.
After successful completion of the projects in 2019, and with a now established logistics department, management decided to acquire a vessel. The MV “VI Quest” was bought and configured to meet the specific requirements, while eliminating previous challenges the company had previously encountered while contracting other vessels.
