We source marine aggregates from the sea bed, through the biodiversity action plans. We supply sand and gravel loose or in the production of our concrete and asphalt products where there is little land based material in the UK, France and Belgium.

Operating out of Southampton, our skilled team manages logistics, mineral resources, and ship operations. We own a purpose-built fleet of four aggregate dredgers, designed for maximum efficiency. Our vessels adhere to the International Safety Management code, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility.

Marine Aggregates Careers

A career with us

We support cadets from an organisation called SSTG, which organises all aspects of the recruitment and training process for new Merchant Navy entrant seafarers. 

Careers

Marine product

The UK has the largest marine aggregates industry, with Marine making a significant contribution, especially in markets like London and the Bristol Channel where marine aggregates represent between 70% and 90% of the total sand and gravel supplied and used in the area.

Marine is currently supplying between 4.5 to 5 million tonnes of aggregate to the UK, France and Belgium annually. Our sand and gravel is primarily used in the concrete industry, but has other applications too. We supply direct to wharves with our own fleet and support beach nourishment campaigns with our licences utilising specialist third party vessels that can pump ashore or rainbow onto coastal areas to combat coastal erosion.
