Kirby Aquiring Allied Transportation? - RUMOR

Heard rumor that Kirby is getting ready to gobble up Allied Transportation. Anybody hear that one?

Good grief! How much money DOES Kirby have???

K-Sea
Seaboats
Allied??

Wasn’t their another one?

Kirby has lots and lots of money, they are the biggest red flag barge operator in the country.

Is the Allied / Kirby deal final or just rumor? I have several friends working over there.

I heard they are looking to scoop up another NY company too!

I hear the Hornbeck tug fleet is next.

We heard it as a rumor, trying to see if anyone else heard it

I really hope not!!! How many of our co workers left Kirby to have better conditions!?

I really didn’t mind Kirby. The 2-1 sucked but the conditions were OK. That could have just been my boat though. But with that said, I have many friends still there who like it

Interesting read.
