Southside Marine, Inc., Tampa Bay, Fla., has announced the establishment of a branch facility at Newport News, Va.
Jim Brennan, president of SMI, stated recently that the new branch will result in savings to SMI clients in the Tidewater area since per diem expense rates will be the same as those charged in the Tampa Bay area.
SMI specializes in providing engineering assistance for repair and trouble-shooting of problems associated with controllable-pitch propellers, thrusters, inert gas systems and propulsion machinery, as well as providing machinery surveys on a contract basis for new construction and retrofits. Services are provided at dockside and underway. The new branch is located at 212 Lyttle Drive, P.O. Box 1614, Newport News, Va. 23601.
