Grain Ship Assist Harbor Services

Your ship assist and escort needs have been a key part of our business for almost 100 years. From large crude carriers, post-Panamax container ships and auto carriers to product tankers, dry bulk and heavy lift vessels, we have the power and experience to get the job done.

Shaver has the largest, most modern and most powerful fleet of ship assist tugs on the Columbia River. Shaver consistently reinvests to upgrade and improve its fleet to better serve newer and larger vessels, and to meet stricter safety and environmental regulations. Our modern, well-maintained fleet includes four Tractor Tugs, all with the latest in propulsion and control technology, and each with greater than 3000 HP and Bollard Pull of over 80,000 lbs.

Shaver is proud of its well earned reputation for prompt efficient service as the safest and most reliable choice for your Columbia River ship assist requirements.
