Gulf Marine Repair Corporation

The Gulf Marine Repair Corporation has more than 35 years in the ship repair industry. The company takes care of ships around Tampa, Florida, and offers repairs to many different varieties of floating sea vessels. Nether it is a new coat of paint or an entirely new electric system, this company has all of the experience necessary to do the job.

This is a large shipyard that operates a full seven days per week and is the employer to a highly-trained and highly-capable crew. When it was first introduced, this state-of-the-art facility participated in the wartime repairs and was heavily manned. Today, most of the ships that come through the company are personal water crafts and barges. This shipyard is very proud to offer great service to the community in and around Tampa Bay and those ships that are harbored out in the Gulf of Mexico.

This shipyard used to be one of many other shipyards that used asbestos for construction and relating of ships. The exposure to this harmful disgusting substance has led to a large number of shipyard workers coming down with terrible illness. Asbestos exposure can lead people to develop mesothelioma and other cancers after breathing in toxic fibers.

Mesothelioma is said to affect more than 3,000 people per year in the United States alone. People who have worked in the Gulf Repair Corporation should get checked out for asbestos exposure. Many people simply do not know that they have been exposed to something that could kill them. However, these people can experience symptoms after 20 to 50 years after inhaling the harmful toxic fibers of asbestos. People who have contracted mesothelioma or other diseases from exposure to asbestos from working in a shipyard or similar environment can usually find legal representation to help them get the compensation that they deserve. A cure for these diseases has yet to be found.
