Bulk Cargo

High-volume marine aggregate transportationA core component of our operations is the movement of bulk aggregates from Upstate New York quarries into the New York Metro and Connecticut markets in support of concrete production, asphalt paving, and infrastructure construction.

Marine transportation provides an efficient, high-capacity alternative to trucking, particularly into dense urban markets avoiding weight restrictions and tolls. Our operations help asphalt and concrete producers and contractors reduce congestion, control costs, and maintain consistent material flow to production facilities.

Aggregate Services & Return Backhaul

Aggregate Services Include

Tug and barge transportation of bulk aggregates; “Just in Time” delivery to locations with limited shoreside storage; reliable delivery to river, harbor, and canal-accessible facilities; high-volume supply support for concrete and asphalt production.

Return Backhaul of Asphalt Millings

To maximize efficiency, we also support return backhaul movements of asphalt millings, helping close the logistics loop and reduce empty repositioning. This approach improves overall transportation efficiency, reduces unnecessary truck traffic, and supports sustainable material reuse practices.
