About
Captain Tim Parker bought the sternwheel steamboat Heloise in 1940, and Parker Towing Company won its first contract pushing wooden coal barges on the Black Warrior River. In 1946 the company bought a new diesel-powered propeller boat and moved into offices in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It remains a family business; leadership listed on the site includes Tim Parker, Jr. (Chairman), Charles A. Haun (Vice Chairman and CEO) and Tim Parker III (President).
The company states a goal of zero injuries, zero waterway spills and zero environmental incidents, and says it pioneered the use of electronic charting systems using DGPS and radar integration on its towboats. Whistler Machine Works has served the industrial and marine industries since 1980.
