About
Canal Barge Company was founded in 1933 and is headquartered in New Orleans. It began with the tank barge CBC-1, the first all-welded steel tank barge on the Inland Waterways, built its first towboat, the M/V BULL CALF, in 1938 and built its first towboat/tank barge unit tows in 1946. From 1989 it managed the movement of NASA's space shuttle external fuel tanks from Michoud, LA to Cape Canaveral, FL.
The family of companies consists of Canal Barge Company; Canal Terminal Company and Pelican Marine Services, both divisions of CBC; and Illinois Marine Towing, a wholly owned subsidiary. CBC acquired its liquid terminal near Joliet, Illinois in 1985.
