Anchored in Trust, Sailing into 2026

Two and a half years ago, IMS completed its first dry-docking project. Since then, our Technical Team and IMS family have worked tirelessly, keeping clients at the center and collaborating closely with shipowners, paint manufacturers, and shipyards as one team. From our first client to over ten today, and from that first project to more than 70 completed projects, we have never let our shipowners down. We have consistently delivered near-perfect results on every project, from hull treatments to COT coating refurbishments, achieving zero complaints. Although IMS remains a small company, our ambition knows no bounds. Looking ahead, we are more determined than ever to earn the trust of even more clients and take IMS to greater heights. As 2026 approaches, we sincerely thank everyone for their great support during the dry-docks. We wish our esteemed clients, managers, and superintendents all the best and a truly outstanding year ahead!
