Moran operates within three primary areas of business activity: • Ship docking, LNG activities, and general towing, in and around the ports and terminals we serve • Marine transportation of petroleum and dry bulk products • Contract towing and specialty towing The company currently owns and operates 100 tugs and 30 barges. To ensure the efficiency and growth of our tug and barge fleets, we maintain an ongoing program of advanced vessel construction. Moran's newest vessels — especially our Z-drive tractor tugs and Articulated Tug and Barge units (ATBs) — use state-of-the-art propulsion technology and vessel architecture to enhance performance and safety. Moran is committed to using double-hull barge design and construction, and our entire fleet of petroleum tank barges is double-hulled. Moran serves 17 ports, each with its own localized management, dispatch and engineering functions. All are operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
