Marine operates out of Southampton, Hampshire, as part of Aggregates UK. We are a small team with a unique skill base covering logistics, mineral resources and ship operations including, but not limited to, ship engineering.

We currently own a purpose-built fleet consisting of four aggregate dredgers. Our newest dredgers are designed for maximum efficiency to deliver aggregate from our many mineral reserves direct to customers in the UK and near continent.

Our vessels operate under an International Safety Management code (ISM), which is one of the most important items of legislation for the international shipping industry. The company is committed to achieving the standards of the ISM code and works under a fully auditable Safety Management System (SMS).

As part of this SMS, Marine recognises that the most important means of preventing maritime casualties and pollution of the sea is to operate well-constructed and well-maintained ships and to crew them with properly trained staff in compliance with international conventions, regulations and guidelines.

• Ensure frequent visits to all Company vessels for a continuous equipment condition monitoring.
• Identify, implement, and run a comprehensive list of operation critical equipment with a specific intervals established for onboard maintenance, replacement, or repairs to minimise down time and unplanned stops on all Company assets.

• Monitor status and liaise with senior staff onboard to enforce timely execution of Plan Maintenance jobs on all Company assets.
• Maintain close connection and collaborative working relationship with the Marine fleet teams (ships and shoreside) to ensure the asset maintenance programs are meeting objectives.
• Where requirement identified, produce a relevant Job Card to cover equipment with a necessary maintenance.
• Develop and implement a coordinated Asset Health Management System (AHMS) to track asset health information and performance.
• Ensuring systems are easy to use and creating value for operations.
• Identify suitable external support to provide advanced equipment upgrade, engineering, troubleshooting and failure mode investigations.
• Coordinate the rectification of repeat discrepancies and monitor results for confirmation of the correct corrective action.
• Monitor Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) vendor notices, data releases and reviewing available modifications for possible improvements to ensure the maximum performance of the marine assets.
