Meet Captain William Van Puffelen, CEO, and his wife Lindsay Van Puffelen, COO, owners and operators of a Biblia, Inc., a family-owned marine towing and transportation company headquartered here in Savannah, Georgia. The company has been in the Van Puffelen family for generations and operates extensively on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and from Maine to Mexico. We learn how a family-owned barge and tug company can survive in the complex regulatory world of modern American shipping and how AIWA has worked to improve the condition of the waterway over the past 20 years. (Capt. Van Puffelen attended the first AIWA meeting two decades ago). We also take a peek into the exciting future of the AIWW with expansions coming to the Port of Savannah, the third busiest container port in America and soon to be home to the $2 billion Elba Island LNG Export Terminal. There's a lot happening down here on the Georgia Coast.
