Star Fleet:
New Orleans’ Leading Barge Fleeting Facility

Fleeting & Shifting

Harbor Towing & Fleeting is proud to operate Star Fleet – one of the most respected and successful inland barge fleets in the region. We specialize in fleeting petrochemical barges, but have the capability to handle dry cargo and heavy equipment.

Located at LMR MM91 AHP RDB, our fleet is conveniently located between Algiers Lock and Industrial Lock and encompasses 4000 linear feet. With 23 monopile mooring dolphins featuring our own robust mooring lines we can fleet 30-35 tank barges while leaving plenty of space for customer boats.

Our mooring dolphins are over engineered to provide safe mooring for loaded barges while withstanding the force of the river whether in high or low water conditions.
