Heavy Lift and Salvage takes more than equipment. It takes experience, planning, and crews who know how to work the water.

With barge-mounted 500-ton cranes plus a fleet of tugs and 50+ barges, we handle lifts most folks won’t touch. Salvage, machinery moves, construction support … if it needs to come up, move, or come out, we’re built for it.

113 years on the water.

What started with a single boat moving produce now stands as a fourth-generation #MarineTransportation and #shipyard operation — towing, lifting, hauling, and keeping working vessels working across the East Coast, Gulf, and beyond.

Proud of where we came from. Ready for what’s ahead.

Threading 1,000 feet of dredge pipe through a tight stretch of the ICW at Wrightsville Beach.

Just another day on the water.

From heavy-lift jobs and tight tows to sunrise departures and shipyard work—2025 was a strong year.

We’re closing it out with a look back at the photos you liked the most.

Thanks for being here with us.

Four legs. Thousands of pounds. Zero room for error.

Our floating cranes and heavy-lift crew brought this structure up clean. That’s the difference experience makes.

Our crews run up and down the East Coast in every kind of weather … sun, rain, sleet, and storms.

This shot was taken on one of our northern runs, pushing through winter conditions when most folks were stuck inside staying warm. That’s the reality of work on the water: no off-season and no waiting on perfect conditions.

Any guesses where and when this photo was taken?

Our crew was called in to recover a 60-foot sailboat that ran aground near the Charleston jetties and started taking on water.

Using a floating crane, barge, and the tug Island Express, we lifted the vessel out and brought it back to dry land safely.

The four people onboard had already been rescued without injury thanks to quick action by the City of Charleston Police Department Harbor Patrol Unit and the Charleston County Sheriff's Office Marine Patrol. Once everyone was safe, we handled the salvage.

💪 Proud of our crew and the teamwork that got it done.

Some behind-the-scenes photos of our crew preparing the 120-foot steel-hulled former Navy torpedo vessel HAZAR for its offshore sink to become an artificial reef.

She was sunk last weekend 40 miles off the #CharlestonSC coast and will now provide habitat for marine wildlife, fishing and diving opportunities.

📍 artificial reef Y-23

Total team effort working alongside the talented crews at @scdnr and @ccasouthcarolina.

Removing a 120-foot derelict ship from the marsh takes more than a tow line.

What you see in this timelapse video took hours on the water. After pumping the hull, breaking the vessel free from the creek bed, securing lift points, and towing the ship safely across the river, we successfully delivered it to our Yonges shipyard.

Salvage isn’t simple, but our crew’s up for it.

70 feet long. 26 feet wide. Built for the Charleston Harbor, handled with ease.

The Palmetto Spirit vessel is part of Charleston’s Harper cruise fleet. When she recently came through our Yonges Island shipyard, our travel lift crew got her Hall, serviced, and back to work.

Keeping passenger vessels, moving safely and on schedule — that’s the job.
