Technical Marine Service, Inc. (TMS) was formed in 1987 by Dan Gray and Dennis Jackson, whose goal was to “Look beyond the obvious to find a solution that out-performs the original”.  That goal remains precisely the same today.

TMS originally focused on providing repair and maintenance services for existing control systems. From the beginning, our approach has been the same: when the job is complete, the system must be more reliable, simpler to maintain, easier to operate, and more cost-effective to run.

TMS soon branched into product development by drawing on our unequaled ability to provide unique and creative solutions. TMS’s design and component selection criteria reflect the goal of enabling the system’s operators to perform the bulk of all equipment service needs without calling on outside help.

In the Marine field, our technicians have become familiar with many types of boiler control systems on both US- and foreign-flagged vessels. Electronic and pneumatic systems installed as long as 35 years ago have been brought up to original manufacturer’s specifications. Where necessary or advantageous, sub-systems have been designed or re-engineered, replacing obsolete components with state-of-the-art equipment while still maintaining original signal protocols..

Today under Dan Gray’s guidance, Technical Marine Service has expanded our capabilities and product offerings.  The LevelCom Liquid Level Computer which TMS developed in 1994 is now integral equipment on commercial marine, oil platforms and industrial manufacturing plants.  TMS LevelCom Tank Level Indicators can be found in use at sea and on land at locations around the world.  Our install base of TMS control systems and products  continues to expand to include commercial marine, offshore oil, manufacturing and industrial projects .

Our mission at TMS is to provide our customers with the finest products and services for any size job we do,  from the smallest repair to the largest installation.
