STEVENS TOWING THROUGH THE YEARS
Located on Yonges Island, South Carolina (just south of Charleston) Stevens Towing Company, Inc. is a mid-sized freight transportation business that also has a Mid-Atlantic presence in Edenton, North Carolina.
The Stevens family has called South Carolina home since the latter half of the eighteenth century. The immediate descendants of the family remained in South Carolina's Lowcountry while others moved south to Georgia. Moving closer to the coast turned out to be the start of a bright future for its next generations.
Stevens Brothers started offering services in the late 1800s after acquiring their first boat: the Mary Draper. But it wasn't until 1913 that Stevens Line Company was established. Its initial business was transporting goods and people from nearby barrier islands to the Charleston market. The business was later renamed as Stevens Towing Company, Inc. during the 1970s.
In today's market, Stevens Towing regularly offers Inland, Coastal, and Ocean towing but they can also provide skilled drivers and a full fleet of tugs, barges, and cranes for all freight and construction operations.
