Equipment, expertise and support that keeps work moving
“MPH provided a first-class and faultless service when towing USV Pioneer from Plymouth to London and back to Plymouth. The crew onboard were extremely knowledgeable and not phased when faced with the challenge of towing an unusual unmanned vessel.”
"Marine Plant Hire have consistently supported a wide range of port operations within Plymouth. Their flexibility, and on occasions their rapid response, have been vital in ensuring business continuity for port users. The vessels are maintained to a high standard, and the shore‑based team provide 24/7 support to assist with operational matters, giving us confidence that every challenge will be met professionally, and goals achieved safely."
