History
David
Dalzell, current owner and operator of Wainwright Marine Services, began his
venture in 1967. It began as an unnamed beach combing operation with one
man, and one skiff. Business activities were unstable for the first couple
years, compelling Mr. Dalzell to buy his first tug boat, the “Khyex II” in
1969 that he used for towing logs. He extended his fleet in 1971 to include
a second tug boat, the “Wainwright”.
Due to
fluctuations in log market prices throughout 1973, he purchased a barge
named the “Sagra”, incorporated his business under the name “Wainwright
Marine Services Ltd.”, and started his barge transportation company.
In 1980,
Wainwright Marine Services started hauling freight for Erickson Air Crane
and purchased the “Northarm Explorer” barge to accommodate their barging
needs.
Today,
Wainwright Marine Services operates with an expanding fleet of 6 tug boats
and 9 barges with its main focus on customer service and fair pricing.
