VT Halter Marine is one of the nation's largest builder of towboats. As an independent, full-time fabricator, we work with our customers to provide solutions to their transport needs. While we work from base designs and automated panel fabrication, you won't get a "standard" design. You will get a towboat tailored to meet your requirements.

    In addition to a full line of tow and push boats, we also offer the complete line of the famous St. Louis Ship designs including the "Super Hydrodyne" hull shapes optimized for push towing service on the U. S. western river system. Seventy two Hydrodynes have been delivered since 1959, totaling 421,000 horsepower and most are still operating profitably.
