Custom Barges & Marine Equipment Proudly Built in Galveston, Texas
Thomas Tank Barge, Inc. is founded by the principal of Kennedy Construction Company. Kennedy Construction and its owners have been designing, engineering, fabricating, and maintaining high-quality barges and equipment for the marine transportation industry for over 24 years.
Thomas Tank Barge is building on those two decades of experience with its full-service facility and complement of trusted suppliers to deliver USCG and ABS certified tank, specialty, deck and crane barges on time and on budget.
Our people make the difference; we have an exemplary safety record and have designed, engineered, constructed over 70 projects with zero warranty or claim issues.
One of our latest projects is the Kennedy Modular Barge — a deck barge designed, engineered, and built by Kennedy Con., Inc. and Thomas Tank Barge, Inc. This ABS-approved three-part barge design allows barges to transit and operate independently or as one unit through the proprietary Barge Coupling System, also designed, engineered, and built in-house.
We invite you to take a look at our tank barge construction and fabrication, and some of our other crane barges, bow boats, rock barges, and other special projects in our gallery.

I’ve known Chris for nine years, and he built one of my crane barges, a 60’ x 140’ x 7’ barge. I also charter a 54’ x 140’ x 8’ barge that he recently completed. The quality is excellent on both barges and he is the only builder I will consider for future units.
Chris Kennedy is a very capable and reputable builder. His work speaks for itself.
