Since the maritime industry is complex with significant infrastructure requirements we know how hard it can be to enter and compete within the industry. Oftentimes, business operators and leaders get bogged down with the varied aspects of running the business. They may struggle with not having enough time and focus for each aspect of the business or even lose sight of why they entered the industry in the first place.
Our hands-on experience provides a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges that come with working in the maritime industry. We are fortunate that our scale and knowledge allows us to invest in resources and facilities. Teaming with S23 gives you access to these resources and provides confidence with a road map for success.

Jorge Rivera is the President, CEO and founder of S23. After getting his start at ship repair companies in Hampton Roads, Virginia, the Puerto Rico native formed ECR out of the back of his pick-up truck in 1999 with a $5,000 loan from a friend. He has experienced many achievements since then and decided to create S23 in 2019 to help other hard workers and small companies realize their dreams. Rivera’s background has inspired his passion for potential and investing in the future.
S23 Holdings is an ethical company that believes in being honest, truthful, transparent and straight-forward with our employees, customers and affiliates.

At S23, our mentors know the business inside and out. We have accumulated many best practices along the way and offer real-world answers to your questions.
