WHAT’S NEW

January 17, 2022

BOOKINGS / GENERAL INFO

• We are currently taking bookings for February 2022
• Contact by email is preferred. All email contact will be responded to within 24 hours during week days
• Once the job is started, we will keep you up to date with the progress. We appreciate your patience.

SUPPLY IMPACT

• The Canadian Truckers vaccine mandate has further complicated the supply chain so we just have to roll with it as nothing is predictable. We do not know what lies ahead as manufacturers struggle with production capacity, demand and delivery issues. We have a very small booking of engines for 2022 and do not expect any more until 2023.  We strongly recommend you keep your vessels in good working order.  We have managed to remain relatively well stocked with essentials, such as oil, filters, anodes, etc., and have been able to accommodate all repairs but with increasing time delays. Thank you for your patience.
