We’re proud to highlight the next generation of maritime professionals learning the ropes at Stevens Towing this summer:

Aram Carpenter – Tugboat Intern aboard the Island Boy (Northeast Maritime Institute)
Lawson Riddell – Tugboat Intern aboard the Island Trader (Northeast Maritime Institute)
Chase Shavey – Shipyard Intern (U.S. Merchant Marine Academy)

From shipyard operations to tugboat life to behind-the-scenes logistics, these local students are getting hands-on experience across the waterfront. We’re grateful to be part of their journey and excited to see where it takes them.

After more than three years on the team, Nick Summerlin knows our tugs and shipyard like the back of his hand.

Now a steersman aboard the Island Fox, he’s experienced it all — from voyages up the Northeast coast to a project with NASA at Cape Canaveral. As Nicholas puts it, “If you just love being on the water, there’s not a better career you can have.”

Watch the video to hear more of his story.

Enjoy seeing El Puma Grande hoisted onto our Marine Travelift!

This twin-screw tug, built in 1965 by McDermott Shipyard Inc. and rated at 1,600 horsepower, has been a true workhorse for decades. We were proud to support her with repairs and help keep her going strong.

Say hello to the Southern Rose!

This 167-ton Subchapter M push boat measures 56.5’ long with a 22.1’ beam—and she’s looking sharp from every angle.

Our team assisted the customer through a successful USCG Hull Inspection and completed touch-up work on the underwater hull paint to keep her shipshape and ready to push forward.

In the shipyard, every rope hauled, every bucket carried, every weld burned—it all matters. It’s the kind of work you feel in your hands at the end of the day.

What started as a small yard to keep our own fleet afloat has grown into a full-service operation servicing tugs, barges, cranes, crew boats, ferries, dredges, and just about anything else that runs on water.

For the folks who work here, it’s not just a job. It's a craft. And we take pride in doing it right.

We’re proud to have received a Carolopolis Award for the preservation of our Yonges Island office — a project that honors the building’s historic character and reflects our long-standing commitment to the Lowcountry.

This restoration celebrates more than just architecture — it’s a tribute to the craftsmanship and heritage that define our community.

A heartfelt thank you to our partners at @urbanelectricco, along with interior designer @jennykeenandesign, architect Eddie Fava, and contractor Alex Johnson, for helping us preserve a piece of local history.

For nearly a century, Stevens Towing has called the Lowcountry home, and we’re honored to be part of the 1,400+ Carolopolis projects that have shaped Charleston’s story since 1953.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads who are part of our Stevens Towing team – and to the fathers who raised them right.

We want to recognize the hard-working dads on our team, who balance family life with their dedication to getting the job done right. It’s not just about being great at what you do on the job—it’s about the values you pass on to the next generation. You’ve taught your kids what it means to work hard, show up, and be part of something bigger.

We’re also proud to be a family-owned business ourselves. Stevens Towing has been serving Charleston for four generations, and we know the importance of strong family values. From our fathers to our sons and daughters, the legacy of hard work, integrity, and commitment to our community continues.

To all the dads out there—whether you’re on the water or off—thank you for everything you do.
