Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) recently announced that the final barge in its 31,500-barrel class design for Harley Marine Services (HMS) has entered service. Four hulls were constructed to this design, with EBDG working with the shipyards to provide detail engineering. The first barge constructed, the David Fanning, entered service in December of 2008, followed by the Bernie Briere in February 2009 and the Lily Blair in June of 2009. The Nathan Schmidt completed the design series and entered service in July of 2009.

Over the past 21 years Harley Marine’s charitable contributions have benefited the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Seattle Children’s Home, American Cancer Society, Big Brothers Big Sister, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Millionaire Club Charity and several other honorable organizations. This year, Harley Marine Services became a member of the Virginia Mason Corporate Partnership Program. The partnership allows Harley Marine to combine forces with Virginia Mason in their effort to improve health care for their patients, as well as raise awareness and outreach to the local community. “We are proud of our partnership with Harley Marine Services,” said Karin Huelsbeck, Director of Corporate Partnerships for the Virginia Mason Foundation.
