Ohio Valley Marine Service, Inc. is a solely owned Kentucky-based corporation with seventy-five full time employees. Sales are generated through offering repair and support services to the inland marine industry. Sales revenue is divided amongst the repair, towing, harbor, fleeting, and fueling operations.
The repair operation is conducted from a floating dock facility at the mouth of the Green River. This facility conducts emergency and/or temporary repairs, minor to extensive repair for barges and tugboats, and barge cleaning for product changes.
The harbor and fleeting services of OVMS are conducted from a floating facility that includes a midstream fueling barge and five harbor tugs. The midstream fueling barge sells fuel, oil, and supplies both dockside and midstream while the vessel remains underway. The harbor tugs operate in eight miles of fleeting areas.
Commercial towers drop and/or pick up barges needing repairs, loading, and off-loading. The harbor tugs assist the commercial tower with these drops/pickups and hold the barges in a fleet until further movements are necessary. The tugs will eventually move these barges to and from terminal docks, and finally back onto a commercial tower for their next destination.
OVMS is considered a full-service harbor and repair facility by industry standards. OVMS operates on approximately eight miles of fleeting area in and around the mouth of the Green River. OVMS provides fleeting and harbor services for Crounse Corporation, American Commercial Lines, Inc., and many others. We can provide services to other terminals in the Evansville Harbor and the Newburgh area, and all points on the Green River. OVMS has also provided services to these fine companies: ADM, Ingram Barge Lines, MEMCO, U.S United Barge Lines, Ashland, Canal Barge Lines, and various other companies that pass through our area of operations.
Ohio Valley Marine Service, Inc. is the only full-service marine repair and harbor service between Louisville and Paducah, Kentucky, spanning nearly 350 miles.
