Whether it is a tow within the confines of the Great Lakes or the St. Lawrence River, McKeil Marine has the right equipment and people to complete your tows safely and effectively. With large horsepower tugs for open water towing and smaller highly maneuverable tugs for work in the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Welland Canal, McKeil Marine has become an industry leader in towing.

Our tug fleet has more than 25 vessels ranging in size from 1000 HP single screw tugs to 6,000 HP twin-screw tugs.

To combat Canada’s harsh winters, a number of our tugs have been designed to provide ice breaking and ice escort duties.
