To say the last two years have been tough would be a mild description of Covid's impact on Florida Marine Transporters in Mandeville, La., a company with over 100 towboats, 250 tank barges and 350 dry barges that's actively engaged in inland and coastal transportation. "It affected us a lot," said Timmy Callais, Florida Marine's vice president operations, dry cargo, while adding that the situation "has gotten better." Callais said the Covid outbreak led to older members of the company's workforce electing to stay home, and they haven't been coming back. Some took early retirement, and some went looking for different jobs, "instead of riding the boats." |
