About our team:
Our team specializes in servicing, troubleshooting, repairing, and installing marine refrigeration systems, particularly RSW (refrigerated sea water), blast and brine units, as well as ice machines.
We service and repair equipment in the field, perform season start ups, rebuild systems, and design unique solutions to fit your individual needs.
At M. R. Solutions we also have a passion for education.
We offer an operators course to anyone interested in learning more about their refrigeration systems.
Who we are:
Doug Cannon (DC) is the founder of Marine Refrigeration Solutions, LLC.
He has over 20 years of experience in the fields of marine refrigeration service, refrigeration development and design, industrial hydraulics, marine electrical, welding, manufacturing and production management.
Prior to starting M.R. Solutions, DC spent 15 years as the shop manager and lead service technician for Integrated Marine Systems (IMS), streamlining production processes, building and installing refrigeration units, and troubleshooting customers problems over the phone and in the field.
When it was time to move on from IMS, this company was born.
DC started Marine Refrigeration Solutions in 2013 with a vision to empower and educate fishermen and operators.
DC has a passion for educating operators on how their equipment functions and how to use their systems effectively .
He is an accredited adjunct professor with the UAF (University of Alaska at Fairbanks).
When not out in the field, DC is working on cars, running an excavator or chainsaw, riding dirt bikes, or teasing the grandkids.
The second member of the team is Robert Cannon (RC) who shares his father's passion for troubleshooting and mechanical objects.
Along with being an experienced refrigeration technician, RC is a marine systems engineer, and is happiest when designing an engine room refit. He is a marine diesel mechanic, has experience as an ABYC certified marine electrician, and is an accomplished welder and fabricator.
He joined M.R. Solutions full time in 2020 after five years of working with the Port Townsend Shipwright’s Co-op.
He brings strong design capabilities to M. R. Solutions team with years of AutoCad drafting in Fusion360, practical hands on time with materials applications, and an uncanny ability to explore mechanical objects inside his brain.
He is famously "upright, and mostly mobile," and when not designing or building marine systems, is busy building log cabins, swapping engines in vehicles or taking on a new and exciting project!
