Our primary service area is the eastern end of Lake Erie, the US side of Lake Ontario and the NYS Canal System. We also have experience in the Intracoastal Waterway from Norfolk, VA to Miami, FL, Chesapeake and Delaware Bays and the New York/New England coast.

While your cargo is in transit, Rebellion Tug and Barge, is equipped to provide regular updates of your shipment’s location, enabling you to monitor progress and rest assured of an on-time delivery.

Rebellion Tug and Barge also maintains the highest standard of safety – even before our crews leave the dock. We prepare them with regular training in safety, security, Rules of the Road, First Aid, CPR and Drug and Alcohol Awareness.

We specialize in moving barges. Whether the barge is carrying a million dollar piece of electrical equipment or an empty dumpster, we guarantee safe delivery. The SHENANDOAH is capable of getting your barge into places most tugs can't go.
