There are many business brokers, investment bankers and other intermediaries around the globe actively involved in merging, selling and buying businesses in all kinds of industries. None of them focuses only on one particular industry.

Marine Business Exchange, Inc. differs in the sense that our scope of activities in merging, selling and buying is solely focused on the maritime industry. With our comprehensive knowledge and experience in the maritime industry, business opportunities are more clearly identified to buyers, sellers and merging companies.

Marine Business Exchange, Inc. will act as an intermediary and assist the seller with the divesture of your company or will assist buyers with the acquisition and merger of companies with the best synergistic results.

Marine Business Exchange, Inc. (MBE), is pleased to announce the addition of Mr. Daryl Ricard Sr., to the staff of MBE. Daryl is a veteran of the Maritime Industry with over 35 years experience with vessel owner/operators and senior management positions with major ship agencies. As a certified auditor for Quality Management (ISO9000), Daryl will immediately participate in the analysis and evaluation of potential merger and acquisition candidates for MBE. He will oversee the Mooring Master activities of Chemoil's offshore bunkering service as well as assist in the passenger ferry service of "SwiftFerries" over Lake Pontchartrain. We also wish to announce at this time the opening of our new Mandeville office. Please contact us for assistance on any of the above mentioned services.
