Our History

Gregory Conn began his maritime career as a deckhand in 1982. As he gained experience, he advanced to the engine room and worked as an engineer. He ultimately obtained his Master's license and became a well-respected Captain. He aspired to form his own tug company, and in 1995 he and an associate started a company with the purchase of the tug Cheyenne.

In 2001, Mr. Conn decided to take a chance and branch out on his own. He purchased his first tug, the Carolina, and thus Intracoastal Marine was born. Our distinguishing colors of white and gold were adopted in 2002. In 2004, he purchased his second boat, the Evelyn Doris. He continued to grow a fleet of tugs varying in sizes and capabilities to meet the needs of ICM's customers.

Nearly 20 years later, you can find our fleet proudly displaying the white and gold colors running from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico.

Strategically Located to Serve

Intracoastal Marine operates in the Port of Hampton Roads. Our office with tug operations and barge offloading is located at Scuffletown Creek on the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake, VA. This location is over 6 acres with 400 feet of bulkhead for dry bulk material handling.

In Memory

Mr. Paul Mutta, Former Port Engineer

Paul Mutta was born and raised in Missouri.  In his first career, he enlisted into the United States Navy earning the rank of Chief before retiring after 21 years and choosing a second career on the water as a towing vessel engineer for an additional 18 years afloat and 3 years ashore as Port Engineer. 

Throughout his career, he proved himself to be a competent and capable vessel engineer with the ability to maintain, diagnose, and repair various shipboard systems and train the next generation of marine engineers.  At any time, day or night he was willing to go above and beyond to help anyone around him.  His hard work, drive to improve, and dedication to getting the job done is an example we all can try to emulate. Paul's presence and effect, loyalty and his sheer drive at Intracoastal Marine will be immensely missed. Fair winds and following seas Chief.
