Kindra Lake Towing was established in 1992 by John Kindra with the purchase of 3 tugs. Today the company has 3 Lake tugs and 2 harbor boats and several deck barges. Our services include moving river hopper barges between South Chicago and the docks and terminals in Burns Harbor, Gary, Buffington and Indiana Harbor in northwest Indiana as well as barge towing and transportation between Lemont and South Chicago.
We provide Coast Guard approved fleeting areas for tank barges as well as marine equipment and services for special projects. In 2020, a 1200 ton drydock was purchased to provide repairs to boats and barges outside of our own equipment. Our cleaning and repair division, Kindra Marine, has been cleaning barges and doing cover handling since 1983. We have always done topside repairs and fiberglass cover repairs and the drydock now allows us to do more work for our customers.
