Dutra's tug Sarah Reed pushes a loaded barge through the San Francisco Bay with the city skyline prominently in the background. Many people the world over would associate the Bay with advanced technology and other white collar business; in actuality; the San Francisco Bay Area is home to five seaports that serve as a critical gateway between Northern California and the global supply chain.

Congratulations to Stanley James Piedra, winner of our May Photo Contest!

Captured on the final day of drydock, this incredible shot shows the crew taking a well-earned moment to document the work and progress on the mighty Stuyvesant.

On May 26, she splashed and set out for her next project, another milestone worth celebrating.

Great photo, Stanley. Thank you for capturing this moment so well!

Today, The Dutra Group recognizes and celebrates National Maritime Day, honoring the men and women who keep our maritime industry moving and our nation connected.

This day traces back to May 22, 1819, when the American steamship SS Savannah set sail from Georgia on the first successful transoceanic voyage powered by steam, marking a major milestone in maritime industry.

Today, we thank all those who work on and around the water for their dedication, expertise, and commitment.
