Our Story
Highlights over the last
25+ years
On February 7th, 1990 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Roger Kavanagh founded Intermarine based on the simple principle that cargo and customer solutions came first – that once we understood our need we would find the appropriate vessel to deliver on our promise. Through the tireless efforts of each Intermariner we have stayed true to that simple idea and built an organization with more than 230 employees located worldwide with revenues of nearly half a billion dollars.
