Quality Services Focused on Safety & Efficiency
Harbor Towing & Fleeting provides quality barge towing & shifting through the locks of the Mississippi River in New Orleans. We mainly work with tank barge customers who specialize in petrochemicals but also assist other marine companies who work with dry cargo and heavy equipment.
Whether our mariners are tripping barges through the locks in the Port of New Orleans, shifting barges from one dock to another or conducting stand-by work at a nearby refinery, they accomplish these operations with vessels that are kept in first-class condition and outfitted with the latest equipment and technology.
