About The Company
For more than a century, Young Brothers has grown to become Hawaii's foremost inter-island freight handling and transportation company. With its involved, dedicated and skilled people and full fleet of barges, tugs, and shoreside equipment, it offers fast, frequent and reliable service to the ports of Nawiliwili on Kauai, Kahului on Maui, Kaunakakai on Molokai, Kaumalapau on Lanai, Honolulu on Oahu, and Hilo and Kawaihae on the Island of Hawaii. Young Brothers, Limited's Mission Statement Our mission is to provide the best inter-island freight handling and transportation services, through our involved, dedicated, and skilled people, delivering excellent customer service, in order to achieve long-term profitability and success. Service to Hawaii Since 1900 In 1900, Herbert, William and Jack Young arrived in Honolulu to start a "bumboat"​ business called Young Brothers. Thirteen years later the firm was incorporated as Young Brothers, Limited, and expanded to provide ocean towing, rescue service and barge transportation between the islands. It got its start by providing ocean transportation services between Oahu and Molokai. Later, to separate harbor operations and charter activities from Young Brothers'​ interisland freight operations, Hawaiian Tug & Barge was formed as a sister company. In 1999, Saltchuk Resources, Inc. of Seattle, Washington, the parent company of Foss Maritime, acquired Young Brothers and selected assets of Hawaiian Tug & Barge. In 2013 Hawaiian Tug & Barge was rebranded, and incorporated into the Foss Maritime fleet, while Young Brothers remains a wholly own subsidiary of Foss.
