A history of marine service

Atlantic Towing Limited (ATL) is one of Canada’s most established and diversified marine service providers. In 1961 K.C. Irving, an industrialist and entrepreneur from New Brunswick, imported six tugs from the UK, and thus established the marine division of the Irving Group of Companies.

Today, with an expanding service area, a sophisticated fleet, and a commitment to quality, safe practice, security and the environment, ATL has evolved into a world-class provider of a wide range of marine services.

J.D. Irving, Limited is a family owned company with over 125 years of service in forestry, oil and gas, wholesale/retail operations, shipbuilding and transportation services.
