Ever seen 150 tons fly?

Stevens Towing transported a Komatsu PC1250LC-8 excavator with our Ocean Ranger heavy lift crane and tug Island Express. It’s now on site at Hugh Leatherman Terminal, ready to dig.

112 Years. One Legacy.

Stevens Towing is proud to be recognized by @SCBizNews as one of South Carolina’s Best Legacy Businesses. This honor reflects our decades of delivering reliable marine transportation and shipyard services along the East, West, and Gulf Coasts, the Great Lakes, and the Caribbean.

It’s a nod to the hard work of our crews, the skill of our teams, and the reputation we’ve built over 112 years for getting the job done, day in and day out.

See the full list at the link in our bio.

Stevens Towing partnered with Barnhart to complete an emergency generator move from Charleston, SC to Providence, RI.

Using our 500-ton crane, Ocean Ranger, we loaded the Siemens generator onto a barge and carefully navigated through a challenging roll off site in Providence. The boat landing space was originally 27’, but with plans to remove all floating docks, it opened up to 41’6” with our 40’ barge coming through.

The crew got the job done safely and on time, proving once again why Stevens Towing handles tough jobs with skill and experience.

Abandoned boats aren’t just an eyesore—they’re a threat to South Carolina’s marshes. At Stevens Towing, our salvage team removes derelict vessels to protect the coast and keep waterways safe.

“Right here in South Carolina, we have some of the best oysters in the world. They’re filter feeders—any pollutants go through them. The sooner we get sunken boats and pollution out, the better,” says Captain Cameron White.

Stevens Towing completed a major marine transport project in support of Nexans (@wearenexans) and the NY Wind initiative, delivering 69 massive shoreside cable reels from Charleston, SC, to Oceanside, NY.

Each reel weighed approximately 110,000 lbs and required expert planning, specialized equipment, and trusted partnerships.

From engineered securement and ocean transport to discharge at the terminal, our team handled it all. With tug Island Trader, support from Fox Marine, and the floating crane Farrell 256 from Donjon Marine, this challenging delivery, separated into two trips, was executed safely and efficiently.

A seamless operation with precise planning required from multiple organizations, this bulk cargo was delivered safely, efficiently, and on time.

Our team recently removed a derelict Navy torpedo ship from Bohicket Creek near Charleston, SC. This vessel had an intense history and after 4+ years in the marsh, it’s getting ready for its next adventure.

The Island Express is tough and she’s built for anything. For 45 years, Captain Jimmy Donnelly guided her through countless inland and coastal operations, helping cement her reputation as a reliable powerhouse in our Stevens Towing fleet.

Today, our fleet includes tugs from 400 HP up to 2,000 HP, ready to tackle any challenge. Whatever the job, we’ve got the power—and the crew—to get it done.

Today, we pause to honor and remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who stepped forward when they were needed most on September 11th, 2001. May we never forget their sacrifice and may we continue to honor their legacy with unity and compassion. Though 24 years have passed, we will never forget.

#NeverForget
