Marine Transportation Click to See Locations
We transport asphalt, fuel oil, gasoline, sulfur and other bulk liquids. We own a fleet of inland and offshore
tows that provide marine transportation of petroleum products and by-products produced in oil refining and natural
gas processing. Our marine transportation system operates on the United States inland waterway system, primarily
between domestic ports along the Gulf of Mexico Intracoastal Waterway, the Mississippi River system and the
Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway system. Our inland tows generally consist of one pushboat and one to three tank
barges, depending upon the horsepower of the pushboat, the river or canal capacity and conditions, and customer
requirements. Our offshore tows consist of one tugboat, with much greater horsepower than an inland pushboat,
and one large tank barge. Our largest marine transportation customers include major and independent oil and gas
refining companies, petroleum marketing companies and Martin Resource Management. We conduct our marine
transportation services under spot contracts and under term contracts that typically range from one to 12 months
in length
