The A-390 was originally built for the Andrie family in the mid-80's when they operated as Canonie Transportation. The barge was known as the Canonie 40 originally.

The A-410 is an old barge that Canonie originally bought or leased and operated it as the Canonie 50. It is a big beast and I don't think it originally had a ballast system, so when she was empty she had a lot of freeboard.

A-397 was formerly named the Iron Mike and Auntie Mame. I am not sure when Andrie bought her.
