DUNLAP TOWING COMPANY

Dunlap Towing Company specializes in mission-critical maritime support services, primarily delivering barge towing, harbor assist operations, and navigational support for defense and homeland security assets. The company provides precision vessel maneuvering in challenging coastal and port environments, including tug-assisted movements of military and Coast Guard vessels in high-traffic and remote harbors such as Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Their technical expertise encompasses heavy-haul barge towing, ship-to-shore logistics coordination, and the safe transit of sensitive or oversized cargo under strict operational protocols. Dunlap’s differentiated capability lies in its ability to execute complex, time-sensitive towing operations in austere environments with minimal infrastructure, leveraging experienced crews and certified maritime equipment tailored for DoD and DHS requirements. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, supporting strategic mobility through barge and freight transportation services essential to force projection and sustainment. For the Department of Homeland Security, particularly the U.S. Coast Guard, Dunlap delivers harbor assist and vessel handling services critical to patrol cutter operations and port security missions. These engagements reflect a pattern of trusted, recurring support for high-stakes maritime logistics in both routine and contingency scenarios. Dunlap’s primary industry focus is on navigational services to shipping and port and harbor operations, with deep specialization in military and federal maritime logistics. They operate at the intersection of commercial towing and government operational needs, positioning themselves as a niche provider of responsive, reliable vessel movement services in support of national security missions. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business structured as a 2L entity, Dunlap Towing Company is headquartered in La Conner, Washington, and leverages its Pacific Northwest maritime heritage to serve federal agencies across the U.S. coastal and Alaskan regions. Its certifications enhance eligibility for targeted contracting opportunities while reinforcing its commitment to veteran-led excellence in maritime operations.
