Bowhead Transport, ocean and river ramp barge

VESSELS

OCEAN AND RIVER RAMP BARGE

The shallow draft Bowhead Transport tug “Sitka” and the 234’ “Spruce” ramp barge together are a unique combination of equipment when considering challenges associated with remote landings throughout Alaska. We consider this tug and barge a multi-tool allowing efficient roll on/roll off loading and off-loading in various remote regions. There are very few barges in Alaska offering the capabilities of our Spruce barge with a large tonnage capacity of 3400 ST combined with the 10,000 Sq feet of deck space, this makes mobilizing or de-mob of any project a time-saving endeavor.  “Time is money,” and the associated savings for our clients is substantial.

Line-Haul mixed cargo, transport of equipment, super sacks, rock, gravel, and sand. Primary Alaska ports or river and ocean landings, you can count on Bowhead Transport to deliver with confidence, according to your schedule.
