About the Company

Kirby Corporation

Operates coastal tank barges and ATBs

Kirby Offshore Marine operates the United States’ largest coastal fleet of tank barges and towing vessels, moving refined products, black oil, and petrochemicals along Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. Its offshore fleet includes about 23 Articulated Tug/Barge (ATB) units, which pair a tug with a barge so the tug pushes the barge at sea, enabling safer, faster trips with better fuel efficiency and fewer delays compared to traditional tug-and-barge setups. Since 2015, Kirby has added six ATBs with a combined tank capacity exceeding 800,000 barrels. The company’s product flow relies on coastal shipping networks and ATB configurations to improve transit times and operational reliability, serving regional distribution in U.S. waters. The goal is to provide efficient, reliable marine transportation for refined products and petrochemicals while expanding capacity and maintaining safety in maritime operations.
