About the company

Bridgemans Services runs floating hotels for workers at remote industrial projects, combining accommodation with marine transport and construction. Its vessels, called floatels, house crews near sites where land-based camps are difficult to build, including the Woodfibre natural gas project in British Columbia. The group earns revenue from project contracts that cover shipboard hotel and food services, personnel and cargo transfers, or the construction of docks, berths and breakwaters. It adapts vessels and supporting shore infrastructure to each client's location and operating needs. Founded in 2013, Bridgemans is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • First Nations crew gain sponsored qualifications: Bridgemans supports endorsements through captain licenses for vessels up to 500 tons.
  • Galley stewards' travel is covered: Bridgemans pays flights from major Canadian cities and transport to the site.
  • Kitimat laborers have a stated day rate: the marine demolition posting lists CAD476 per day.

What critics are saying

  • Housekeeping means extended time aboard: MV Saga X stewards work 28 days on and 14 days off.
  • Kitimat laborers face long shifts: the demolition role requires 12-hour shifts for 14 consecutive days before seven days off.
  • Able Seaman employment has a defined term: Bridgemans advertises three years with a possible extension.

What makes Bridgemans Services unique

  • Local access rests on partnerships: Bridgemans' Haisla joint venture supplies marine transport in Douglas Channel and Kitimat.
  • Shipboard systems reduce shore dependence: Bridgemans' Clean Oceans program includes water purification and sewage treatment.
  • Air-to-sea transfers connect directly: Bridgemans' marine terminal sits five minutes from Vancouver International Airport.
