Safety Leadership In Practice: Ronald Corigliano And The Shift To Safety Management Systems - The Waterways Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Editor’s Note: Ronald Corigliano’s career mirrors the evolution of safety management in the towing industry. He entered the maritime workforce in 1986 with Campbell Transportation Company, starting in the maintenance department with diesel experience and a willingness to learn. Over the next several decades, he progressed through engineering, safety, environmental compliance and senior shoreside leadership roles, building a career grounded in operational reality. In December 2025, Corigliano ste
The First Towboat For Union Barge Line After WWII - The Waterways Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From the beginning of World War II, the inland shipyards of the United States had been almost totally committed to building vessels for the war effort. Few commercial towboats and barges were turned out at all during those years, and older steam and diesel boats, some dating back to the turn of the century, had been kept in service out of necessity. Germany surrendered to the Allies in May 1945, but the fight with Japan in the Pacific continued and would not end until September. Even before the
The Little Towboat That Could - The Waterways Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A book titled “The Little Engine That Could” came out in 1930 “as retold by Watty Piper,” a pen name for Arnold Munk. This beloved tale for children tells of a tiny locomotive bravely trying to help a broken-down train with a load of toys make it over a mountain. The struggling little engine gradually succeeds in getting over the crest by chanting “I think I can. I think I can.” This story of determination and belief in self could be applied to a vessel, or more aptly the builder that participat
Vapor-Phase Cooling Introduced To The Rivers - The Waterways Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, several towboats in the 3,000 hp. class were built with hulls that were relatively wide for their somewhat short length. This was done so that the boats could lock on the end of certain tows as a straight single in 600-foot lock chambers. This column has detailed some of these and, this week, will look at another that even introduced some innovation to the rivers. As mentioned previously in this column, Streett Towing Company was formed in 1943 as a partnership
Another Towboat Named Kansas City - The Waterways Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The last column dealt with a towboat built in 1955 for Sioux City and New Orleans Barge Line that was named Kansas City and operated on the Missouri River in the early years that it ran. This time we look at an earlier vessel that was also named for that unique city that straddles both Missouri and Kansas on the banks of the Missouri River. The Inland Waterways Corporation (IWC) has been a favorite topic of this writer. River transportation had largely died out with competition from railroads an
