3GA Marine Opens New Office

3GA Marine, a growing naval architecture and marine engineering firm, has announced the opening of their new office located in View Royal, a suburb of Victoria, BC, Canada.

The company provides inspection, survey, design engineering, project management support and environmental stewardship to the marine sector worldwide. Additionally, there is also in-depth knowledge of domestic and international regulatory regimens. 

Company founder and president David Stocks is a naval architect with over 40 years’ experience leading teams of experts in maritime and offshore vessel projects. He established 3GA Marine in 2012, in response to a need from the commercial marine sector in Canada and across the Pacific Rim for high-quality, responsive consulting services.

Partners David Mietla, and Ray Moon, joined the company in May, 2013. Mietla's expertise lies in ship system design and engineering, refit and maintenance with experience in heating ventilation and air condition systems and hydraulic and vessel propulsion systems. 

Ray Moon brings over 40 years’ experience in ship design and construction and shipyard operations. Daniel McIntyre, intermediate marine engineer and David Jack, intermediate technologist in naval architecture, round out the core staff. 3GA’s subject matter expert associates all hold senior level certifications in naval architecture, marine engineering and environmental disciplines and have been involved in a variety of high-level projects locally, nationally and internationally.

“The establishment of a new physical space in which to work will bode the company well as we continue to grow our well-blended team who all have considerable marine experience,” said David Stocks, president. “We now have the expertise and depth of resources to assume larger and more complex projects but we’re just as comfortable working on jobs of any size and look forward to serving current and new customers in 2014 and beyond.”
