Log Boom Towing & Storage

Your log boom towing experts

Log boom towing has been a mainstay of Harken Towing’s business since it began in 1948. That’s close to 70 years of experience that we put to work for you.

We have the tugs and the crew to handle all your log boom towing needs, whether you need booms towed from Howe Sound to the Fraser River, or from Vancouver Island. In addition, our many storage grounds on the north arm of the Fraser River, the Point Grey flats, the main arm of the Fraser River, and the Pitt River give you maximum flexibility to store your booms where you want.

The Pitt River storage grounds provide excellent fresh water storage that kills teredo infestation in logs and is also ice-free in the winter months.

All our storage grounds are charted on a weekly basis, giving you and your customers an edge in boom inspections. By always knowing where your booms are, we save you time and money by taking the guesswork out of locating your boom, leading to more efficient boom inspections.

Call us at 604-942-8511 to discuss your log boom towing needs and get a quote.
