Waterways transportation is the most economical, environmentally-friendly form of commercial freight transportation. The greater fuel efficiency of tugboats results in cleaner air while moving goods off already congested roads and away from crowded population centers.
Buchanan Marine’s barges can go anywhere there’s enough water. We are not restricted by highway regulations, traffic jams or tolls. Most of our barges were built with narrow waterway access in mind, hence the 44-foot beam.
The power to fit every barge business need is here in one place. Buchanan Marine owns and operates three different kinds of workboats. They are all compact, powerful tugs that push, pull or otherwise tow barges along the desired course or into position for loading and unloading.
Our push-boat is used on broad inland waterways, where shallow draft and large horsepower are an advantage. With the ability to push an array of 16 barges at once, this push-boat has the capacity to move 32,000 tons in a single tow.
Our standard tugs are used to tow smaller barge arrays in deeper, more active water, while small, super-maneuverable shuttle tugs move barges short distances quickly to keep the docks organized and provide
maximum utility.
Buchanan’s dedicated fleet of tugboats and barges can move your cargo to convenient dock locations in most major northeastern seaboard and riverside commercial centers. We have the personnel available to evaluate new dock locations at any time.
