The Port of Brownsville is the closest deepwater port to industrialized Northern Mexico. This area includes the industrial giant Monterrey, often referred to as the Pittsburgh of Mexico.
In a time when steel and related industries are moving product to and from Mexico with unprecedented freedom, Gulf Stream Marine is meeting the need for flexible customer service and experienced handling of steel and related cargo that is so vital to the areas' success.
Gulf Stream Marine's efficient and motivated workforce sets the benchmark for the stevedore industry. Since our inception the credo, "Do not damage the people or the cargo," has been and will always be, the foundation for growth at Gulf Stream Marine.
Aggressive equipment acquisition and replacement policies enable Gulf Stream Marine to stay abreast of industry change and expansion. We operate with our own equipment in Brownsville and keep avenues for equipment sharing with our large Houston operation wide open.
The Gulf Stream Marine Brownsville fleet includes over 25 forklifts ranging in capacity from 5,000 pounds - 70,000 pounds. Our meticulously maintained fleet is the key to Gulf Stream Marine's ability to meet the immediate and long-term needs of our varied customer base.
