At Marine Equipment Solutions (MES), growth is not merely about scale—it is about expanding capabilities to serve customers more completely, efficiently, and with greater expertise. MES continues this journey with several key milestones that strengthen its position as the single-source provider of equipment and solutions for the marine and heavy civil construction industries.
The recent acquisition of Pacific Gulf Wire Rope marks an important step in enhancing MES’s offerings in rigging, lifting, and wire rope solutions. Pacific Gulf’s decades of expertise and strong reputation for safety, quality, and reliability align seamlessly with MES’s mission of delivering integrated, customer-focused solutions.
Building on that momentum, MES has also welcomed Humco Marine Products to its family. Humco is a respected supplier of marine bearings, searchlights, winches, deck fittings, soft ropes, and safety products, serving commercial, industrial, and government customers nationwide. By leveraging Humco’s extensive product line and long-standing reputation, MES is now uniquely positioned to deliver full-scope marine and heavy civil construction support, ensuring customers continue to receive trusted service—now backed by expanded engineering and resource capabilities.
In addition, MES has announced the launch of Poseidon Jackup, a joint venture between Combifloat of the Netherlands and Poseidon Barge, backed by MES. Poseidon Jackup brings world-class modular jack-up barge technology to North America—purpose-built, transportable, and engineered for performance in challenging marine environments. This innovation expands MES’s capabilities into elevated platform solutions for bridge, port, energy, and environmental projects across the U.S. and Canada.
Together, these strategic expansions—Pacific Gulf, Humco, and Poseidon Jackup—represent more than growth. Each addition strengthens MES’s collective ability to deliver safe, reliable, and innovative marine construction solutions, backed by unmatched technical expertise and a shared commitment to customer service.
As MES continues to integrate its family of brands—including Rasmussen, Poseidon Barge, Portadam, Pacific Gulf Wire Rope, Humco Marine Products, and now Poseidon Jackup—its promise remains unchanged: to deliver outstanding service, smart solutions, and trusted support for every project, large or small.
Welcome to the next chapter of Marine Equipment Solutions—a company building momentum and just getting started.
