Vancouver, BC
Rivtow began in 1939 as the River Towing Company of British Columbia; a family company with a single boat engaged in towing logs for the forest industry.
With over sixty years of successful seagoing experience, and still going strong, we are the same family company with a somewhat wider base of activities.
Rivtow has prospered by providing superior service to its customers in every area of its operations.
We believe our success has a lot to do with our admitted old fashioned approach to business. When you are a Rivtow customer, we treat you as one of the family.
