T & D TOWING
WITH A COMBINED 60 YEARS OF TUG BOAT EXPERIENCE,
WE CAN MEET YOUR MARINE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS.
ABOUT OUR COMPANY
T & D Towing started out when Tommy Tamplain and Darryl Chauvin joined forces with a combined 60 years of tug boat experience in 2005.
Our experience covers the inland tug services of the Gulf Coast as well as the offshore tug industry on both coasts of the US and internationally.
Our hands-on experience ranges from building, retrofitting, to operating and sailing tugs inland and offshore in the oil industry and coastal trading. We still maintain that hands-on attitude in operating our tugs today to maintain our equipment and foster a team effort with our crews. The equipment is only as good as the crew operating it. We pride ourselves in providing quality services to our customers in a timely and safe manner.
Whether it be anchor handling, towing material barges for derrick barges or pipe lay vessels, or delivering cargo coast wide, we are up to the challenge of handling the logistics and outfitting the tugs and barges efficiently and safely.

Miss Beth is our Inland Push Boat that we totally refurbished in 2014 with Scania engines with 1,250 BHP. She was repowered with main propulsion Scania engines and new 40 KW generator sets. She is fuel efficient and has a 40 ft eye level with an upper wheel house - which can be removed or reinstalled in one day if the job requires. She was our first vessel to receive Subchapter M COI.
Our most recent addition to our fleet is the Miss Jean. She is our largest vessel at 105' in length with 3250 brake horsepower furnished by two Caterpillar 3516 main engines. The tow winch is an Intercon double drum with anchor handling capability with 200K lb line pull. We are capable of tandem towing with 2200 feet of 2" wire on each drum. She is also equipped with pop-up pins. Our elevated pilot house has an eye level of 45'.
