Encompass Marine Ltd and Marine Marketing International Limited (MMI), two leading shipyard and marine services agencies, based in the UK, have announced an arrangement to transfer several key ship-repair and marine services agencies from MMI to Encompass Marine, which took effect from the 1st June 2023. The shipyards and marine service companies involved are:
Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering
Tru-Marine PTE/ PMAX One
EDR Antwerp Shipyard
Detyens Shipyards Inc.
Colombo Shipyard
ASYAD (Oman Drydock Company)
Namibia Drydock & Ship Repair (Namdock)

Under the terms of the agreement, a structured process has been implemented to manage the transition of the principals over the coming 12 months, and both Encompass and MMI can be contacted for all enquiries for the listed principals.
MMI and Encompass Marine will continue to operate as separate businesses, for their remaining and existing principals, whilst working closely together to execute the smooth transition of the eight listed principals from MMI to Encompass.
David Maitland, Director at Encompass said, “We are excited to significantly grow Encompass Marine’s global network of first-class shipyard and marine service principals. The incoming principals complement our existing portfolio with their shared focus on delivering high quality, safe, reliable, and innovative ship upgrades, vessel maintenance solutions, and marine system retrofit projects. We look forward to working closely with Mike to ensure our new principal’s UK market share is maintained and expanded. We also look forward to introducing Katie Grummett, as our new Business Development Manager, to help achieve our ambitions.”
Mike McMahon, Director of Marine Marketing International, commented, “This is a win, win, win result for all parties involved. Whereas I have no retirement plans at present I must respect my age and this agreement ensures that the development of market share for these principals continues and allows us to offer our customers a wider range of knowledge and support in the UK Market. At the same time I can refocus on my remaining principals and have time to develop my project work ”
Jon Thompson, Director at Encompass said, “This development allows Encompass Marine to offer an almost seamless portfolio of first-class principals around the world. We are delighted to have the trust of the incoming principals, and we very much look forward to building on the excellent work already done by MMI in presenting them to the UK market. The addition of Katie to the Encompass team adds a wealth of experience and further strengthens our ability to provide owners and managers with unrivalled support.”
