Harbor Towing & Fleeting:
Reliable Marine Transportation Since 1970
Our History
Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence
Founded in 1970 by Gerald D. Clower, the company continues to thrive as a family business owned and operated by Gerald’s son, Gerald E. “Jerry” Clower and grandson Todd G. Clower.
Over the years the Clower family expanded the company considerably, growing from two vessels to four state-of-the-art tugboats – and redeveloping 4000 linear feet of barge fleeting space located between Algiers Lock and Industrial Lock.
Vision & Mission
Humble Roots
Gerald’s vision was to offer barge lines the convenience of a first-class New Orleans towing and fleeting company. His vision still guides the company in the 21st century..
Approximately 95% of our business is red-flag barges. The company, however, is equipped to handle dry cargo and scrap.
We are proud to maintain a family business environment with an emphasis on personal service and attention to our customers’ needs.
