At Middle River Marine, our barge cleaning and repair teams continue to set the bar high. Week after week, they service a large volume of barges with consistency, speed, and precision—keeping our operations running strong across every terminal.

From South Chicago to Joliet and Lemont, these crews have achieved performance levels few in the region can match. They’ve maintained high output while adapting to shifting schedules, tough conditions, and evolving equipment demands. Their ability to turn around barges efficiently—without sacrificing safety or quality—remains a cornerstone of our operation.

This is demanding, hands-on work. From tight tank cleanouts to topside repairs, these men show up ready to get it done right. They do the kind of work that keeps everything else moving—and they do it with skill, pride, and grit.

To our barge cleaning and repair teams—thank you. You’ve earned the respect of the entire company. Your work keeps the system flowing, and we’re proud to have you on board.
