Company Information

Promet Marine Services Corp. began in 1974 providing 24 hour a day, 7 days a week - voyage repair to a variety of vessels trafficking in Ports of the Northeast United States, from Bridgeport Connecticut to Portland Maine. Our mobile crews were able to service vessels while they discharged or loaded cargo in port. Additionally, vessels would tie up at Promet's deep water shipyard in Providence, RI for pierside work.

During the 1980's the market changed to tug and barge traffic, requiring less voyage maintenance. By then, Promet had developed a crew of skilled personnel which enabled us to become a qualified US Navy bidder. Through 1993 the USN, stationed in Newport RI and in New London CT, provided the bulk of Promet's work, along with an occasional USCG vessel, fishing boat and the continued voyage repair.

Anticipating this change, Promet installed a 400 metric ton Travelift in 2003 to serve a broad range of fishing boats, tugs, and commuter boats from Cape May, New Jersey to Maine. We are able to dry dock these vessels at our ship yard in Providence RI. Combined with a growing conversion and repair business, pierside, on large commercial vessels such as barges, cable layers and bulk freighters, Promet has found a niche to supplement its original work of repairs to commercial vessels heading into New England ports.

No job is too small. We have dry-docked heavy keel, transoceanic sailboats and pleasure yachts. Our pierside capability are vessels up to 700 feet LOA. We dry-dock up to 400 metric tons.
