Testimonials

I have known and worked with Fred Budwine in several capacities for more than 30 years. When there is a need for response to any kind of marine incident, Budwine is the man I want on the job. When Fred and his men respond they do so with the expertise and equipment required to actually respond and control an incident, which can be the difference between an accident and a disaster. He knows what he is doing and has the attitude that he is there to serve every need of his client, not just take pictures and document damages. That is a huge difference, which immediately provides environmental protection, stabilizes vessels in distress, and reduces cost for the vessel owner. I recommend that every vessel owner/operator make him their first choice when faced with a report of any accident serious enough to rate the best in the business.

Fred always amazes me and, despite the extreme challenges, I believe he and his Team did their absolute best for us during the entire Ida event. Its also really great how seamlessly Budwine and McKinney work together on Salvage. I’m not looking forward to doing it again, but if we had to, I’d go into battle with these guys anytime. And that includes you too Blaise...you were terrific throughout.

Fred Budwine has been indispensable part of our business for over 20 years. Problems happen in the marine business and when they do, they can sometimes be huge ones. Fred has been there for us when we’ve needed him no matter how big or small the problem is. His honesty and integrity are indisputable. We depend on him when we need honest and reliable surveys as well as when we have emergencies and he’s never let us down. He is an outstanding individual and has an outstanding company. It is with great pleasure that I can give this recommendation.

Budwine & Associates service is superior in all aspects, starting with the service that he and his team provide from the start of the job to the very end. They are dependable and knowledgeable in the marine survey/diving industry and you can count on them 24/7. For the past 25 years, I can say that he and his team have never let our company down. They provide professional marine surveys, divers, assist with salvage operations, and help mitigate cost for our company, along with the proper equipment needed to respond. They also provide service in several different state locations.
 
Highly recommend Fred and his team - they are our first to go to!!!!
