Dolphin Marine International operates a fleet of ocean tugboats that are in service around the world. Currently they are on assignment in the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean.
Dolphin’s boats are performing a wide variety of operations, such as rig moving, anchor handling, pipeline construction and salvage operations, for companies involved in the maritime and energy industries.
Dolphin Towing recently added the Rebekah Bruce, a towing and anchor handling tug, which adds considerable horsepower capacity to the Dolphin fleet.

In that short time frame, we have grown the Dolphin fleet by 500%, and we currently have plans to double the fleet again as we move forward. We are committed to serving the deep-water segment of energy exploration and the related requirements involved with transportation of product.
