With 108 years in business and a fourth-generation family owner, it's hard to find more experience than Stevens Towing has. Now with offices in both South Carolina and Edenton, N.C., Stevens Towing started out on Yonges Island in South Carolina. The company originally engaged in moving produce and passengers from local barrier islands to the market in Charleston, S.C. The business has about 225 employees, with about 100 in its shipyard in on Yonges Island, about 80 on boats and the rest in administrative positions, said Benjamin "Bos" Smith, vice president of operations. On its website, Stevens Towing describes itself as a mid-sized freight business engaging in inland, coastwise and ocean towing, although Smith said inland towing is its primary trade, using both hopper barges and bulk transport. The business has operators along with a fleet of tugs, barges and cranes. |
