Who We Are

Founded in 2002 and still family-owned and operated, Norfolk Tug Company was built to serve working ports with disciplined crews and dependable equipment.

Based out of Hampton Roads, Virginia, the company operates 16 tugboats and 21 barges supporting commercial marine transportation along the Eastern Seaboard. Our approach to the work is consistent, operationally complex, and essential to keeping commerce moving.

We are crew-focused by design and capability-driven in whatever the job requires. Every vessel is maintained to the highest standards, keeping operations in motion and limiting delays. Successful operations on the water demand the preparation and accountability that Norfolk Tug consistently provides.
