Members

There are four types of membership within the Council of Marine Carriers:

Tier I

Open to any individual, firm or corporation which owns or operates vessels, towboats or barges and employs seagoing personnel.

Tier II

Companies who specialize in one aspect of tug operations such as ship docking and ship escort operations.

Tier III

Companies that own marine assets and are involved in project based marine operations, such as bridge or terminal construction projects, but do not directly employ seafarers.

Tier IV

Asocial membership consisting of non-marine companies, associations and individuals who have an interest in the towboat industry, but do not have an active role in marine operations.

All memberships are voted upon by the CMC Board of Directors. The CMC Board of Directors may declare other firms or organizations to be eligible as a member at any level at their discretion.

All members are encouraged to become involved in Council of Marine Carriers (CMC) activities, particularly by participating in the various committees which are the very core of CMC operations. All CMC member companies receive a discounted registration fee at the Biennial CMC Towboat Conference.

Arrow Marine Services is one of British Columbia’s most trusted full-service shipyard and boat repair facilities for the past 80 years. We are conveniently located at the mouth of the Fraser River in Richmond, BC, Canada which makes us easily accessible by land or water. We have over 3.5 acres of shipyard space and covered facilities that allow us to provide year-round service to our various customers. We specialize in providing professional, high-quality, cost-effective commercial shipyard services for tugboats, barges, landing craft, fishing vessels and other marine equipment. Our 330 Ton Marine Travelift gives us the ability to transfer multiple large vessels to paved hard land stalls for inspections, repair services and major refits. 

Arrow Marine Services started with a single marine crane on Granville Island in 1940. In fact, the original Arrow building still exists today as Bridges Restaurant, an iconic and popular restaurant, setting Arrow Marine Services as a visible part of Vancouver history. Founded in 1919 by C.W. Charles, Arrow Transportation Systems Inc., is one of the oldest, largest and most diversified transportation companies in Canada. Our philosophy is to provide high quality service at the least total cost to our customer. Whatever your needs may be, we get the job done.

“Enerburn” , as conceived by Exxon/NALCO, is an elemental iron containing , fuel borne, diesel combustion catalyst.  Compliant users of this catalyst will see an 8% reduction in diesel fuel usage, a 50% reduction in the generation of diesel particulate matter, a 10% reduction in NOX, and a 50% increase in diesel engine longevity.  Compliant Enerburn usage is an underscored opportunity to significantly reduce operational cost, while mitigating your environmental footprint.  At today’s diesel pricing – savings of $70,000 – $80,000 per million liters of diesel  Eliminating  216 tonnes of CO2/million liters of diesel

DPM – half of where you are at now.  50% enhanced engine longevity…priceless ?

Enerburn, used compliantly, would bring these steep advantages to the BC tugboat industry.  I would be delighted to help you capitalize and environmentally mitigate with this catalyst opportunity.
