Shaver Transportation: Your Gateway to Marine Careers

Shaver Transportation Company was founded by George W. Shaver in 1880. The Shaver family continues to own and manage the business today. Captain Steve Shaver serves as President and Chairman of the Board. Steve's sister, Samantha Shaver is a Board Member and VP of Marketing. Steve's daughter, Rickie Shaver, who serves as the Purchasing Manager, and Ashley who serves as the Administrative Assistant, represents the sixth generation of Shavers at the Company. Together with our employees Shaver has grown into a regional tug and barge company with a fleet of 15 tugs and 20 barges.

We focus our efforts on four lines of business: ship assist, bulk commodity transportation, harbor/marine services, and emergency response and rescue.
