Alexander Merz, Director of Marine Operations; Captain Jimmy D. Mullis II (LA), Vice PresidentIntracoastal Marine is a key player within the maritime services sector, with an unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and professionalism. With a diverse fleet of tugs, push boats, barges, and truckable tugs, it provides a wide range of services, with efficiency as the highest priority. The team does this all while forming strategic partnerships with clients and other marine transportation professionals to find solutions for every project.
Intracoastal Marine’s journey began with an ambition to offer the highest quality marine towing services while working alongside customers to help them achieve their unique logistics and transportation goals. The team upholds a commitment to excellence in every task they undertake, whether orchestrating the movement of a fuel barge, amphibious army vessels, or navy barrack barges.
“As professional mariners, we go above and beyond for our customers, not just from a transportation standpoint, but finding efficiencies throughout the project. Even our competitors call us when they need help. It’s about helping our harbor neighbors if they can’t support their customer base. We’ll always step in,” says Captain Jimmy D. Mullis II (LA), vice president of Intracoastal Marine.
At the core of its customer-centric mission lies its versatile team with deep field expertise. Beyond their stellar group of professionals, Intracoastal Marine maintains a robust arsenal of state-of-the-art equipment. If a detrimental situation arises where a vessel is out of commission, it can often secure a replacement asset in less than 24 hours.
Intracoastal Marine’s able to meet these niche industry needs by offering an extensive array of services and prioritizing client collaboration and engagement from the early stages of each project. The team partners with clients even before bidding starts, strategizing together to identify potential challenges and opportunities. This dedication to customer relationships does not end when the project concludes. Post-project reviews are an integral part of their process, fostering continuous learning and creating lasting partnerships.

The company demonstrates a stellar track record of solving challenges for customers facing high-stakes needs in industries like agribusiness, shipping, and construction. In one instance, Intracoastal Marine leveraged its vast network to secure a barge for a citywide July 4th fireworks show at Virginia Beach. The municipality would have needed to cancel the entire show had the team not acted swiftly. This example, echoed by many others, proves that the company is equipped to handle various client needs with quick turnaround times.
Everyone on the Intracoastal Marine team embodies all-encompassing professionalism, from the mariners to the C-suite, reflected in their familiar mantra; ‘a rising tide raises all boats.’ This philosophy is foundational to its success as well as the success of its clients.
Intracoastal Marine is more than a marine towing service provider—it's a partner on the high seas. It has positioned itself as a trusted ally in the maritime industry through a steadfast commitment to professionalism, customer satisfaction, and round-the-clock availability.
