Vessel Description

The Warren Thomas is an inland river towing vessel operated by Marquette Transportation Company, one of the largest inland river transportation companies in the United States. Built in 2007 by Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors in Houma, Louisiana, the vessel is designed for pushing barge tows along the inland waterway network of the central United States. As a Z-drive tug, it benefits from enhanced maneuverability, which is particularly advantageous when navigating the complex lock-and-dam systems and variable river conditions characteristic of the Mississippi River system. The vessel operates under United States Coast Guard oversight and complies with applicable inland river towboat regulations.
