AWO at 80: Looking Back and Looking Forward on Safety, Security & Sustainability

This year, AWO marks its 80th anniversary as the tugboat, towboat and barge industry's ad-vocate, resource and united voice for safe, sustainable and efficient transportation on America's waterways, oceans and coasts. As we celebrate this milestone, we not only recognize and reflect on 80 years of advocacy for our industry as a key driver of the U.S. economy, but also 80 years of vital work as a safety and sustainability leader and security partner - protecting mariners, communities and our waterways from harm.
