Boston Towing & Transportation is the largest and
oldest continually operating towboat
company in New England. Our fleet operates from BTT's corporate office and
full support facility located on the waterfront in East Boston where we have a
full complement of yard personnel including mechanics, welders and divers for in
water repairs and maintenance.
Our
fleet of ten tugs have a combined 23,000 HP and include the two 4400 HP
ASD tractor tugs the Freedom and
Liberty which were
built by Washburn and Doughty in East Boothbay Harbor, ME. The
Freedom and Liberty were built to safely handle the LNG
tankers that make regular calls to the
Distrigas Facility
located in the Mystic River. Both are equipped with firefighting systems
that output 6000 gallons of water per minute. These tugs have had training
sessions with the Boston Fire Department. They are manned 24 hours a day with
experienced crews able to handle any job assigned to them.
In addition to the Freedom and Liberty BTT also has towboats that were acquired from Boston Towing. They are the 3000 horsepower Vincent D Tibbetts Jr and the Harold A Reinauer II, formerly the Daley and Cabot, and the 2000 HP Jason Reinauer and H.J. Reinauer formerly the Walton and the Rowe. The Hercules and Maverick are both 2000 HP Navy YTBs. The Ethel Tibbetts is a 1700 HP diesel electric that was originally the W.R. Coe owned by Virginian Railway. The Miriam is a 1600 HP diesel electric that was originally the Kathleen Tracy.
Our dedicated, fully licensed marine personnel and federal pilots have been working together for years providing ship handling and pilotage services in the Ports of Boston, Weymouth, Braintree, Quincy and Salem Mass with a degree of professionalism that is second to none.
