Central Marine Repairs (CMR) is a ship repair / engineering company that has been performing work on the S.S. Gopher State under my supervision. CMR is a growing company with safety, quality of work, and customer satisfaction as their primary goals. From job quoting through the entire stages of production to invoicing, Central Marine Repairs has exceeded all expectations. The company owners are dedicated professionals that make business a pleasure due to their honesty, ethics, and open communication.

They work closely with both their employees and the customer to ensure that jobs are performed to a high standard with a minimum amount of rework. Additionally the companies low overhead also result in very reasonable prices.

In conclusion I have been in direct management of ship repair activity as both a shipboard and superintendent engineer for twelve years, In this time I have had to deal with companies of all types, good and bad, I am pleased I have had the opportunity to work with Central Marine Repairs.
