About Marcon
Sales / Charters - Since our first sale in 1983, Marcon has sold/chartered over 1,438 vessels and barges between companies located in the U.S. and worldwide. We specialize in the towing, marine construction and offshore petroleum industries.
Consulting - Although our primary focus, as shipbrokers, is in the sale, purchase and charter markets, we have also assisted many companies in evaluating capital acquisitions, market rates and feasibility of trade routes.
Website - Marcon International, Inc. is very proud of its constantly evolving website, www.marcon.com. A key feature of our website is an up-to-date list of approximately 1,000 vessels offered on the market for sale, charter or newbuild design. The website contains search functions which allow the user to input characteristics, such as: type, size, price, location and flag. This allows users to find vessels that suit their needs. Many of the listings on the website have photographs, drawings, and surveys available online. The website contains a fraction of the 16,000+ vessels and barges we track, so if you do not find what you want there, please call or email our office and one of our brokers will be more than happy to search our databases for your requirements or contact owners to find suitable equipment. Other key features of the website are reports and articles on different segments of the marine industry, economic factors, and different countries. Marcon's website is often used by financial institutions and researchers as a point of information for various purposes, due to our extensive archives of articles, newsletters and market reports.
Market Reports - On a quarterly basis, Marcon International issues reports on the following market segments: Tugboats, Supply Boats, Push Boats, Tank Barges and Crew Boats. These reports contain: summaries of data from Marcon's extensive databases regarding vessels for sale or charter in the US and worldwide; compilation of news from vessel builders and operators worldwide; summaries of major economic influences on the market; and featured listings from our files. Current and archived reports are available at www.marcon.com.
Newsletters - Three times a year, Marcon International, Inc. sends out a newsletter by email and mail to about 7,500 recipients worldwide. Each newsletter contains a selection of approximately 900 vessels available as newbuild designs, for sale and/or for charter under the categories of tugs, supply, push, crew, utility, research, dive and passenger vessels, deck, derrick, tank and hopper barges and landing crafts. Each newsletter also contains an article relating to current trends in a particular segment or the industry as a whole. Current and past newsletters are available at www.marcon.com.
