This Houston-based company operates on a model that combines core marine and diesel engine operations, making it a pivotal component of the logistics and energy sectors across America's inland waterways and along its coasts. With a fleet of hundreds of inland tank barges and towboats, Kirby facilitates the safe and efficient movement of bulk liquid cargo – anything from petrochemicals to refined products. These operations are not just about moving cargo; they are a testament to Kirby's commitment to logistics excellence, optimizing routes, and maintaining strong relationships with key industrial customers. By capitalizing on its logistical expertise and engineering know-how, Kirby ensures its vessels are always ready to serve those fueling America's industries. Parallel to its marine business, Kirby also runs a robust diesel engine services segment. This side of the business is predicated on providing critical support and maintenance services to the marine, offshore oil, power generation, and industrial markets. What sets Kirby apart is its dual capability to conduct repairs, rebuild engines, and offer a diversified range of products for virtually any industrial application needing reliable diesel engines. This diversification not only fortifies the company's revenue streams but also situates it as a key player in industries reliant on dependable machinery and uninterrupted operations. Through these diligent strategies and forward-looking investments in both segments, Kirby Corporation remains resilient, reinforcing its position as a linchpin in the energy and logistics chain.
