When I launched MID-SHIP Marine on March 1, l974, my goal was to set a new standard for highly customized personal service that would enable our clients to grow and prosper. I firmly believed that if we were loyal and dedicated to our clients they would reciprocate and we would share in their success.

I was fortunate to have with me at that time a handful of people in New York and Florida who shared my enthusiasm and desire to be the best in the business. From this early foundation of talent and principles we have over the past thirty years built a highly successful and diversified transportation company. I am proud to say that MID-SHIP continues to add talented and dedicated professionals who share my philosophy of providing service based on hard work, integrity and professionalism.

The accomplishments of our enterprise have required the diligence and vision of numerous people working together to deliver on the promises we have made to our clients for more than three decades. As we march into the new millennium we continue to keep these thoughts in mind and strive to find the best mix of continuity and change to respond to a rapidly changing marketplace.

I thank our valued clients for their business and thank my partners and staff for their loyalty and dedication. We look forward to serving you with transportation solutions in the twenty-first century.
