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, Inc was born. Our well recognized 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.
