Over Eighty-Six Years has seen the transformation from the aspirations of a self-made mans idea of petroleum transportation with a small converted fishing vessel to a fleet of more than 75 vessels transiting the waters of the East Coast and up on into the Great Lakes. The company has mushroomed from its limited service of a 13,000 gallon tanker transiting the local waters of New Jersey to the 149,000 barrel barge complimented by 30 petroleum barges with a total carrying capacity of over 1.5 million barrels of product.

    The Reinauer Maritime Group is headquartered in both Staten Island, New York and East Boston, Massachusetts. The offices operate on a 24-hour a day basis for 365 days a year and employs 450 people on staff and seagoing mariners. The combined offices of Reinauer Transportation Companies and Boston Towing & Transportation have continually demonstrated their ability to move forward into each new decade with continued growth through acquisition. During the past twenty years opportunities have developed, which enabled the two companies to capitalize by acquiring either entire fleets of tugs and/or barges or select vessels that will adapt to a particular market need. The new millennium has brought three newly constructed articulated tug barge units (ATB), Tug Nicole Leigh Reinauer & Barge RTC 135; Tug Christian Reinauer, Barge RTC 145; and the Tug Meredith C. Reinauer, Barge RTC 150 to the fleet. They are powered with 7,200 horses and coupled with a 135,000 plus barrel double-hulled barges. In 1992 Erie Basin Bargeport was acquired in New York Harbor, offering 85 acres of waterfront property with 56 of those acres serving as sheltered waters.The barges are powered through the various waterways by a fleet of 30 tugboats ranging in horsepower from 1,200 on up to the 7,200 horsepower tug. Petroleum transportation is not the exclusive employment for the tug fleet as Boston Towing & Transportation reigns as the premier ship docking company for Boston Harbor. Boston Towing & Transportation demonstrated this ability by safely sailing and returning the U.S.S. Constitution, Old Ironsides, to sea during the summer of 1997. Additionally, Marine Construction Divisions have evolved out of both New York (est. 1986) & Boston headquarters into respected entities with a wide range of capabilities. 1998 saw the establishment of REICON, which has developed into a significant Marine Construction subsidiary of Reinauer Transportation.

    The automation of the fleet continues with a major investment in state of the art operations and tracking transportation system that enables the customer to access and query product movement on-line at REINAUER.com. Customers can track the progress of their voyages and histories of customer specific history.

    The dynamic resourcefulness and inventiveness of RTCs early history has stayed with the company throughout its 80 plus years. The Reinauer Maritime Group makes a combined contribution to Maritime Heritage, which is its constant pride in their service and their fleet.
