We take safety seriously and are committed to the health and wellbeing of every one of our people. We take pride in our outstanding safety and environmental performance, and we operate under the International Safety Management Code, American Bureau of Shipping, and American Waterway Operators Responsible Carrier Program.

G&H Towing Company has identified safety, security, and the environment as three key areas in its sphere of operations that are of paramount importance and need to be effectively controlled to prevent injuries, loss of life, and damage to health, property and degradation of the environment.

G&H Towing has been operating under an evolving Safety Management System (SMS) since 2005, with oversight from the American Bureau of Shipping and the American Waterways Operators Responsible Carrier Program. The key to the success of our Safety Management System (SMS) is commitment from senior management and a desire to continually improve our operations. By establishing a foundation of guidance and support for the personnel who conduct operations, management is serving the best interests of customers, employees, and the public.

We are committed to fostering a culture of safety through training, awareness, and action. By becoming knowledgeable in safety management and taking appropriate actions to avoid accidents, employees reduce risk and exceed customer expectations.

Subchapter M

Our fleet is governed by the Coast Guard’s Subchapter M Federal regulations, with our entire fleet issued Certificates of Inspection (COIs) from the USCG. Prior to the new Subchapter M regulations, G&H Towing was voluntarily compliant with progressive Safety Management System (SMS) standards, leading to a seamless transition to the new Federal regulations.
