Soo Marine Supply was formed in 2003 and is owned by Sharon and Darwin J. “Joe” McCoy. The business has a long history on the Sault Ste. Marie waterfront. It was previously owned by Great Lakes Fleet and prior to that by U.S. Steel and Pittsburgh Steamship. It provides galley, deck and engineering supplies to vessels passing through the St. Mary’s River or conducting port visits to various ports in the northern reaches of the Great Lakes. 

Materials are inventoried and transferred to passing freighters by the supply boat, OJIBWAY, owned by the company. Additionally, materials are delivered by truck at beginning of season, and at other times and places during the season. 

The company operates 24/7 during the shipping season, usually beginning in March and running into the middle of January.
