In addition to tug boats, Foss operates a large fleet of flat deck, multipurpose and specialized commodities barges, and has access to an extensive list of pre-qualified chartered vessels.
Foss also builds and operates specialized vessels created to meet its customers’ unique needs, such as:
- Two self-unloading bulk cargo lighterage barges specially designed to transfer ore concentrates in very challenging operating conditions above the Arctic Circle in northwest Alaska.
- One of the world’s largest railcar barges, the 425’ X 100’ Foss AquaTrain which sails between Canada and Alaska.
