Each job is assessed based on location, load, access and water conditions.

Can you remove logs from beaches and waterfront properties?

Yes. Log an’ Tow provides beach log removal and waterfront cleanup for municipalities, commercial properties and private waterfront owners. We assess the shoreline, tides and boat access to plan the work. Before removal, we confirm the scope with the client and identify any permissions or coordination needed with the responsible landowner or authority.

Do you tow and repair log booms on the Fraser River?

Yes. Log an’ Tow assists with towing, repositioning, securing and maintaining log booms on the Fraser River. We also help collect escaped logs and respond when booms break apart. Share the boom’s location, approximate size and condition so we can assess the equipment and support required.

Is Log an’ Tow available for emergency marine assistance?

Contact Log an’ Tow directly for urgent log boom repairs, loose-log recovery and marine towing assistance. Availability depends on our crew’s location, existing work and operating conditions. When you call, provide your exact location, a description of the problem and any immediate hazards so we can assess the response.

Log an’ Tow works with municipalities, marinas, marine operators, waterfront businesses and private property owners. We support both one-time projects and ongoing work, including beach cleanup, log boom maintenance and assistance around docks and waterfront facilities.

Are you licensed and insured?

Log an’ Tow holds a BC log salvage licence and operates an insured, Transport Canada-registered commercial workboat. Our operator holds Small Vessel Operator Proficiency certification, known as SVOP. We assess each project against the vessel’s capabilities, operating limits and crew qualifications before accepting the work.

What kind of tugboat and equipment do you use?

We operate Hornet, an approximately 18-foot dozer tug built for working with logs and assisting with marine towing. Its compact size is suited to manoeuvring around log booms and waterfront work areas. We select towing and securing gear based on the job, with additional equipment or crew arranged where required.

How much do log salvage, towing and beach cleanup services cost?

Pricing depends on the job’s location, travel time, scope, equipment and crew requirements. Tides, shoreline access and the amount of wood or material involved can also affect the work. Contact Log an’ Tow with a description and photos to request a quote for your towing, log removal or waterfront cleanup project.

How quickly can you respond?

Response times depend on your location, crew availability, tides and weather. Working from Richmond gives Log an’ Tow access to the Fraser River and nearby waterfront areas. Call directly for urgent requests. For planned work, contacting us early helps us schedule around suitable tides and access conditions.
