Six massive automotive press components. No rail clearance. No trucking permits. No problem.

Stevens Towing received the units at Columbus Street Terminal, discharged them directly to our 250’ deck barge Stevens 2501, and moved them upriver to an inland terminal closer to their final destination.

From there, our 500-ton floating crane Ocean Ranger handled the discharge and load-out onto self-propelled transporters. Specialized trailers and a strong team effort carried it the rest of the way.

Big cargo. Tight logistics. Solid teamwork.

What started as a yard to maintain our own fleet has grown into the Yonges Island Shipyard: a full-service operation supporting tugs, barges, dredges, ferries, floating cranes, and more.

Built over decades.

220 tons. No sweat.

Stevens Towing’s floating crane puts a @liebherrconstruction LTR 1220 right where it needs to be.

Whether it’s up the Intracoastal or across open water, our tug fleet delivers - every time.

From 400 HP to 2,000 HP, our tugs handle inland routes, coastal runs, and Western Rivers work paired with a versatile barge fleet built to move what others can’t. Strength, precision, reliability. Every tow. Every day.

From @KingsPoint_USMMA to Yonges Island.

Kurt Olsen, VP of Shipyard Operations, talks shipyard growth, leadership, and building something that lasts at Stevens Towing.

“We’re not just another yard. We’re a fourth-generation family business that’s adapted, invested, and built something special. We’re proving that in this industry—if you build it right—they will come.”

Sea Crescent standing tall in Port New Hampshire.

Hard to beat a tug that looks this proud.

Not something you see every day.

Tell us when you see it.

You don’t stay 16 years unless the work means something.

For Joe Peal, Purchasing Manager at Stevens Towing, the job has never just been about a title.

It’s about showing up, supporting the the team, and playing a part in work that matters every day.

“I don’t even think about retirement now. I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing as long as I feel like I’m part of the team and getting it done. Because this is my purpose.”
