The 4,200-hp tug NEW YORK, delivered in 2019 by St. Johns Ship Building in Palatka, Florida, made history one year later by being the first Vane Brothers tugboat assigned to operate in the Great Lakes region.

During Women’s History Month, we are proud to celebrate just a few of the incredible women who help to power Vane Brothers. For today, meet Fleet Logistics Coordinator Sarah Adams: From her very first SCUBA class at just 9 years old, Sarah has had an undeniable love for the water. Family trips to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, diving alongside turtles and coral reefs, sparked a passion that shaped her future. Sarah’s early curiosity led her to investigate maritime careers. The Texas A&M Maritime Academy graduate was eventually commissioned into the U.S. Coast Guard, where she led teams through search-and-rescue missions, fisheries boardings, and high-pressure operations from Hawaii to Alaska. Her years at sea taught her resilience, leadership, and the value of staying calm when the stakes are high. After nearly a decade underway, Sarah sensed her priorities shifting toward balance, family, and long-term stability. At Vane Brothers, she now thrives as part of the shore-side Fleet Logistics team, helping to raise the bar for the company’s entire customer and crew delivery experience. Every day is rewarding for Sarah, thanks to fast-paced problem solving and important interactions with other Logistics Coordinators who also have interesting and inspirational maritime backgrounds of their own. #WomenInMaritime #WomensHistoryMonth #TheVaneBrothersCompany #Logistics

During Women’s History Month, we are proud to celebrate just a few of the incredible women who help to power Vane Brothers. For today, meet Mate Georgianna Bode: While attending SUNY Maritime College and sailing with Vane Brothers tugboat crews for nearly six years, Long Island native Georgianna Bode pushed through every doubt and every stereotype. “I learned from everyone I worked with,” she says. “During training, I would carry around a notebook and retain every ounce of information I could.” Now, as a recently promoted Mate working on a tugboat in and around Philadelphia, Georgianna welcomes the challenge of each new operation. What makes her story even more powerful is how she spends some of her time away from the tug. Georgianna loves doing nonprofit work, especially with Project Lift, where she speaks to young adults facing tough circumstances. She teaches them about maritime careers, shares her journey, and shows them what’s possible. Here’s to women on the water, to giving back, and to Georgianna — leading by example every step of the way! #WomenInMaritime #WomensHistoryMonth #TheVaneBrothersCompany #Tugboat

During Women’s History Month, we are proud to celebrate just a few of the incredible women who help to power Vane Brothers. For today, meet Chief Engineer Hope Jeffries: Growing up in Rhode Island with a love for hands-on work, Hope was encouraged by her dad to pursue a career that challenged her. That path led to Massachusetts Maritime Academy and eventually Vane Brothers, where she is Chief Engineer on the Articulated Tug/Barge (ATB) tug CHINCOTEAGUE. Working in California, Hope strives to be someone her crew can rely on and trust. She knows every task adds to her maritime knowledge, and she especially values being able to reach into her “mental toolbox” and apply lessons she has gathered along the way. One of her favorite parts of the job is collaborating with an open-minded and dependable crew that is always willing to pitch in. The ATB unit is more than a workplace for Hope; it’s a second home. She takes pride in doing her job the right way, understanding the “why,” and growing alongside the other crew members. And when Hope is offshore, the views never get old! Wildlife, sunsets, and skylines make every trip memorable. Hope encourages more women to enter the maritime industry, saying, “Women bring valuable perspectives, talents, and intelligence to a vessel’s crew.” #WomenInMaritime #WomensHistoryMonth #TheVaneBrothersCompany #Tugboat #ATB
