Shaver Transportation Company was founded by George W. Shaver in 1880. The Shaver family continues to own and manage the business today. Together with our employees Shaver has grown into a regional tug and barge company with a fleet of 16 tugs and 22 barges. Shaver is the oldest continuously operating family-owned company on the west coast. We focus our efforts on four lines of business: ship assist, bulk commodity transportation, harbor/marine services, and emergency response and rescue.
