Foss provides marine support for complex construction projects overseas as well as in harbors throughout North America. With a diverse and flexible fleet of tugs and barges–– and exceptional project management and marine engineering––we help customers handle the complicated logistics required for major construction endeavors.

Foss crews are highly trained to provide the highest level of service and to safely operate in the most extreme weather conditions and in remote locations. By drawing on our unmatched marine engineering, rigging, shipbuilding and operational expertise, we can design, outfit and mobilize the appropriate fleet of tugs and barges for any project, anywhere in the world.

With a large fleet of tractor tugs, cranes, ocean tugs, and deck barges of all sizes—along with the most experienced operators in the industry— Foss always has access to the right equipment and best personnel for the job.

Bridge construction projects

Our extensive experience includes working on major bridge construction projects throughout the United States, including the Carquinez Bridge in San Francisco Bay, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Hood Canal Bridge in Puget Sound, and the I-90 Floating Bridge, in Lake Washington. For these and other projects, our vessels and crews tow caissons and deck components, and assist with running wires and anchoring.

Ocean towing support

Foss provides ocean towing to support the mobilization of materials to remote sites around in the world. These include harsh environments in Alaska, where we towed prefabricated silo components for a major contractor working on the Ground Missile Defense projects. In Mexico, we towed and offloaded enormous power plant equipment at an isolated location with minimal infrastructure.

Our fleet includes tractor tugs, deck barges and cranes, which are available for dredging, lighterage, tending, and as support vessels for major projects. Foss' rigging expertise is especially valuable in supporting construction projects.
