We specialize in moving barges. Whether the barge is carrying a million dollar piece of electrical equipment or an empty dumpster, we guarantee safe delivery. Our fleet is capable of getting your barge into places most tugs can't go.

We also have use of small barges for bridge inspections, cargo transportation into shallow waters, waterside construction for buildings fronting and over the water and a ramp barge for getting your equipment and personnel to islands and remote places.
