Our History
Founded in 2008, Maritime Technical Services began by providing technical training programs for U.S. Coast Guard personnel. After helping one of our early clients avoid over $12 million in capital expenditures through targeted engineering analysis and regulatory guidance, MTS expanded its services to include technical consulting, design review, and vessel compliance management.
Since 2012, MTS has proudly supported the U.S. Coast Guard through ongoing contracts providing advanced training for Marine Inspectors and inspection personnel nationwide.
