The tugboat, towboat and barge industry’s commitment to safety is at the core of who we are. We move 700 million tons of cargo each year, all while prioritizing the safety of mariners, the communities we serve, and the environment. We’re proud to have the lowest injury and fatality rate among major modes of freight transportation; a strong, longstanding partnership with the Coast Guard; and a steadfast commitment to continuous safety improvement.
