The management team of G & H Towing is comprised of individuals with decades of experience in the maritime industry who share a commitment to excellence. G & H Towing demonstrates this commitment in all areas of operations from their outstanding safety and environmental performance to building technologically advanced towing vessels, but most importantly to their people. G & H Towing believes that through a commitment to maritime education and training their future success and that of the nation’s maritime industry will be assured.

The gift will support the education of the Academy’s cadets, many of whom will become the future leaders of our nation’s tug industry. G & H’s vision is to be the most respected tug ship-assist company in the country. Massachusetts Maritime Academy plays a role in that vision by providing the best educated mariners around!
