Support -

Our shallow draft barges are ideal for bridge-construction work. Adding a lift gives access for construction or repair. Smaller barges have material handling cranes to assist with loading and the job itself whether it’s steel, masonry work, or timber.
Our cranes can also be used for highway and bridge work.

Pier and Seawall Construction

I honestly can’t say enough about the work that Smith Marine provided on our wall, pier, float, and boat lift system. You guys did an amazing job. The pride in workmanship shines through loud and clear. The innovative lift system for the dock works like a charm and the whole structure has now made it through several major storms unscathed. If you ever need a reference for related residential work, please pass our names along. We would be excited to sing your praises.

Barge Support and Marine Logistics

I first became acquainted with Smith Marine when they were handling the barge tows for the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. They were very professional and were very flexible in our process. When we had to look for a new barge and tow company, I had only one company in mind, Smith Marine. They have a great team in place that handles all our needs. Smith Marine works with us and with the many city, state and federal agencies involved with the firework component, as well as working through the limitations we have with the Charles River locks, and pier space in Boston. Smith Marine will continue to be our choice, not only for how they do the job, but how they go about their job.

Pier and Seawall Construction

In the Winter of 2018 our timber seawall suffered significant damage during a 'Noreaster. After evaluating numerous marine contractors, we selected Smith Marine to build a new, safer and longer-lasting wall. I can only say that during the entire project, the Smith crew exhibited the highest possible standards in terms of work ethic, client relations and professionalism. They worked seamlessly with the city's Conservation Committee and the Engineering firm who designed the wall. The result: A gorgeous, higher, safer and more durable wall. Their attention to detail during construction was exacting as was their care for our property. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody who needed a job done to perfection. They know their stuff!

Barge Support and Marine Logistics

Smith Marine has always provided reliable and timely service with good people on a very time critical effort that we have to provide to our client. The crew is professional and works to accomplish our goals. The quote is in line with the invoicing. I don’t think you can ask for a lot more than that. I wish we could rely on more contractors like this.
