THREE Generations
This has been a family business from the start, and it still is. The boats are ours, the terminals are ours, and the people who answer for the work carry the Halvorsen name.
WHAT WE DO
Contract towing
and barging
From log rafts in Southeast Alaska to housing modules bound for the Gulf of Mexico, we run the tows that don't fit traditional line haul sailing schedules or have cargo restrictions — coastwise, offshore, open seas and everywhere in between.
Construction
and project support
No road? No problem. We land equipment, materials, and all types of construction supplies on job sites from the Alaska Panhandle to the Pacific islands and Central America.
Terminal
and freight services
By owning seven working terminals — Seattle HQ, Harbor Island, Port Orchard, Port Hadlock, Ward Cove/Ketchikan, Thorne Bay and Juneau — we keep freight moving without the wait associated with shared port facilities.
Where We Work
Year-round service in Puget Sound, the British Columbia coast, and Southeast Alaska has been the heart and soul of the Boyer business since day one. We also consider Western Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and the Arctic our home waters. Beyond that, charter work has taken us as far as Australia, the US East Coast, South America, the Indian Ocean, and the Southern Pacific. Our Seattle terminal — Boyer Towing headquarters — gives us a strategic launching point for freight consolidation and preparation to reach each and every region of the globe we provide service.
Working With Contractors
Contractors bring us in early, as their top-tier marine service provider. Three generations of the Halvorsen family have been running commercial marine services since the early 1900s, with Boyer Halvorsen still at the helm of the company today. A project is only as good as the planning behind it, and bids are won with competitive pricing. From camp moves on the Alaska North Slope to supplying aggregate for remote runway construction across the Pacific islands, we've done the job. If you are pricing a project that needs material, equipment, or supplies moved by water, be sure to call us before the bid goes in. You'll get straight answers from Boyer Towing, and an honest read on whether we're the right outfit for your needs.
