Foss can transport virtually any cargo by barge in environmentally sensitive areas as well as in regions with severe weather hazards.

When Thea Foss started her company by purchasing a single rowboat in Tacoma, Washington in 1889, she hardly could have imagined that the humble enterprise would grow into one of the world's leading tug and barge operations. Thea had a talent for marketing, and she painted a sign on the roof of the Tacoma boathouse advertising that the enterprise was "Always Ready" to rent rowboats. That sign is the root of Foss Maritime's mottos, which remains an important component of the company's brand today. "Always Safe. Always Ready."
As we look to the future, we are excited for what lies ahead and believe our experience will serve us well, particularly with regard to resource development in the offshore wind market and other regions of the world.
