MMT owns 16 towboats and more than 60 barges moving products through the U.S. inland and inter-coastal waterways. As an environmentally sensitive corporation, MMT follows a systematic program to replace older barges with new ones.
Our size, combined with our extensive area of operation gives us the flexibility to provide efficient and reliable tank barge services to our customers. We are the leading carrier of asphalt products on the inland waterways.
Logistical planning and follow-up through our supply and distribution management keep us on schedule for timely delivery and optimum customer service.
