Vane Brothers is a family-owned business with a storied history. From humble beginnings as ship chandlers in Baltimore, the two original Vane brothers (Captains Burke and Allen Vane) teamed with their cousins in the Hughes family to build a thriving maritime operation. Today, 125 years after the company’s founding, Vane Brothers is a premier marine transportation provider with vessels at work on the U.S. East, West and Gulf coasts, as well as in the Great Lakes Region and the Caribbean.
