Vessel & Barge Leasing

Hines Furlong Line not only operates its own vessels—we also maintain a fleet of inland towboats and barges available exclusively through bareboat charter (lease) arrangements. This structure gives our customers the flexibility to scale their fleet up or down based on market demand, without the long-term financial commitment of ownership.

Bareboat charters are a strategic way to cover maintenance downtime or accommodate spikes in business. Customers gain the benefits of ownership—such as vessel exclusivity and fixed costs—without the operational burden. Each lease is fully customized to match the customer’s routes, cargo, and commercial goals.
