PROFILE |
 |
The only curbs on Kirby Corporation's growth are downturns in the transportation market. The largest inland barge operator in the US, Kirby owns a fleet of more than 870 tank barges that ply the inland waterways of the US. The barges, operated by subsidiary Kirby Inland Marine, transport petrochemicals and processed chemicals (60% of transportation revenues), agricultural chemicals, and refined petroleum products. Subsidiary Western Towing operates 215 towing vessels. Three Kirby subsidiaries, Marine Systems, Rail Systems, and Engine Systems, engage in overhaul and repair of marine, rail, and industrial diesel engines. Big customer Dow Chemical accounts for 10% of the company's revenues.
