CURRENT OPERATIONS

Over the years the J.W. Westcott retools and adapts to the ever-changing needs of the maritime industry. While we are best known for our carrier contract with the United States Postal Service, which was awarded in 1948, we have diversified into many new areas. Recognizing a need for deliveries to vessels at docks the Westcott is now able to accommodate deliveries of anything from vital mechanical parts to sundries required by crew with our truck to many ports around Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

Beginning in 2012 the Westcott has worked as a procurement agent of food and steward sundries for a number of shipping companies at the Port of Toledo and Detroit. We are able to deliver to any docks that allow truck access and have incredibly competitive pricing. Knowing food quality aboard a vessel is paramount, we source our groceries fresh from local vendors and our meat supplier is second to none. With a 48 hour notice we are able to procure and supply your vessel(s) whether at a port or through mid stream delivery through Detroit.

As we are centrally located in Detroit the Westcott is a mere 20 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) and can facilitate transportation to and from the airport for crew members and gear. We operate a one of a kind mid-river or docked crew exchanges 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
