Info

At Marquette Transportation Co., our advantage lies in the value we deliver to our customers every day. As one of the nation's largest inland river transporters, Marquette operates a newer fleet of 38 towboats, which transports agricultural products, aggregates, liquids and construction products to points along America's inland waterway network. But instead of operating our own barges-and competing with our customers-Marquette leases its 600 dry cargo barges to its towing customers, helping them get their products to market faster. Marquette is strategically located in Paducah, Kentucky-the epicenter of the river industry-where we operate three categories of vessels designed for The Lower Mississippi River, Swing and Locking Rivers. As a family-owned business, you could say we operate a pretty tight ship-from state-of-the-art communications and safety systems in our fleet to our reputation for safe operation and great transit times. Maybe it's time you discovered what our customers already know.
