Strategic Foundations Hard work and partnerships have always been part of the DNA of Associated Terminals. The company was founded in 1990 by David Fennelly and Dan Barker, a veteran of the barge industry. Fennelly and Barker started the company as a stevedoring brokerage firm connecting shippers to terminals and stevedores, thus the name Associated Terminals.

In 1997, the company made its first major acquisition, two Manitowoc 4600 cranes. About a year later, Gary Poirrier, Fennelly’s commercial lender, joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. Poirrier now serves with Fennelly as owner and co-chair of Associated Terminals. Todd Fuller also joined the duo the same year, and now serves as President of the company. Strategic Innovation The company continued to grow its fleet of barge-mounted cranes and its area of operation. In early 2007, Associated Terminals made what would become a company-defining equipment acquisition when it bought a new high-capacity, floating Gottwald crane. The company now has a fleet of 15 Gottwald cranes, six of which came from St. James Stevedoring, a Convent, Louisiana-based stevedore Associated Terminals acquired in 2015. Strategic Locations Today, Associated Terminals’ areas of operation dot the entire Mississippi River below Baton Rouge. Our operations include midstream bouys along the river, a barge terminal at Port Allen, a location on the Michoud Canal, operations at the Port of South Louisiana’s Globalplex Intermodal Terminal and the Port of St. Bernard and the company’s midstream grain elevator at Myrtle Grove. Associated Terminals handles between 25 million and 30 million tons of bulk and project cargoes per year. Strategic Partnerships Associated Terminals offers its customers superior efficiency through its partnership with Turn Services, a New Orleans-based fleeting and diversified towing company. Associated Terminals acquired Turn Services in 2004, and the company has served as the primary fleeting and shifting provider for Associated Terminals ever since. The company also achieves its safety and efficiency goals through innovation and is developing remote-control technology to enhance crew safety. Strategic Community Involvement Associated Terminals is more than just a stevedore and terminal operator. We’re also a part of the communities where we work and live. Each year, we give back through scholarships, community service, and partnerships with organizations like United Way, Raphael Village, New Heights Therapeutic Riding Center, ArcGNO, and Volunteers of America.
