Atlantic Coast up on the @marinetravelift at our Yonges Island shipyard.

Built in 2007 by Rodriguez Boat Builders in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, this 99-foot twin-screw tug packs 3,000 horsepower thanks to her Caterpillar 3512B engines. Owned by Dann Marine Towing, she’s equipped for serious coastal towing with an Intercon DD-200 winch and 2,000 feet of 2-inch wire.

We’re proud to support this powerful workboat and help keep her mission-ready for the long haul.

25,000 tons of rock. $38 million in ecosystem benefits. Years of hard work.

Stevens Towing is proud to work with the NC Division of Marine Fisheries and other local partners to help build North Carolina’s oyster sanctuaries - transporting limestone, granite, and reef materials that restore marine life and protect our coasts.

This project is good for the water, it’s good for local jobs, and it’s good the long-term health of our environment.

The Mary Draper — Where Stevens Towing Began

In the late 1800s, brothers Joseph Stanyarne Stevens and William Yates Stevens saw a need for reliable water transportation between Edisto Island and Charleston, SC. With road travel often hampered by flooding and poor conditions, most inland routes depended on carriages and horseback.

In response, the Stevens brothers purchased their first vessel—the Mary Draper—and launched Stevens Brothers Company around 1878. That small boat marked the beginning of a legacy that continues today at Stevens Towing.
