West Coast Marine will stay headquartered at its current location with Robby Baker, general manager, continuing to lead the 63 employee team.
“We are proud to be joining a company with such a rich history, well-established brand and commitment to customer service and environmental stewardship. We are excited to become part of the Tidewater team,” Baker said in a press release.
In addition to its inland transportation and terminal services, the acquisition allows Tidewater to provide a comprehensive range of onshore and offshore cleaning and waste transportation services to the marine and industrial business markets.
“We have worked closely with West Coast Marine in the past, and our two companies share a strong culture of entrepreneurship and a focus on safety, quality and service to the customer,” added Bob Curcio, Tidewater’s president and CEO. “This acquisition is an outstanding fit, and we are excited about the possibilities for growth that it offers us. The synergies and strengths of the combined companies will result in additional service offerings to existing and new customers within an expanded geographic footprint.”
