About
Vane Brothers was founded in 1898 when schooner captains Burke and Allen Vane opened a ship chandlery in Baltimore's Fell's Point. The company remains family-owned and is run by the Hughes family, cousins of the Vanes.
Its fleet includes Sassafras Class tugs built by Chesapeake Shipbuilding, 8 articulated tug and barge units and 80 double-hulled barges. Vessels built since 2014 meet EPA Tier 3 or Tier 4 standards, and B-5 to B-20 biofuels and R-100 renewable fuels are used in multiple applications. The company participates in the AWO Responsible Carrier Program, operates under ISM with ABS third-party audits, Sunoco OEMS and OSHA programs, and uses USCG-approved ballast water treatment on ballast-carrying tank barges.
