Hughes Marine has over 120 years of experience in all facets of the marine industry, including barge leasing, marine transportation, and specialty marine projects. We use that experience to see that our customers get the job done safely, effectively, and competitively. We combine marine background and business practicality to manage any marine related project from start to finish, on time and on budget. There are circumstances due to foreign ownership, distance, or other factors, which necessitate outside management of your floating equipment or barge leasing operations. Hughes has the maintenance, accounting and management personnel, pier space, and ownership background to manage your floating equipment, alone or in partnership. We have extensive experience in providing tug and barge leasing services to movie companies, fireworks (including the annual Macy’s 4th of July show in NYC), and other unique entertainment events. We can manage your marine project, your equipment, or both.
