Kirby Corporation (KEX) in Houston, Tex., operates a fleet of inland tank barges. The company transports industrial chemicals, refined petroleum products, black oil products, and agricultural chemicals. It also overhauls and services diesel engines employed in marine, power generation, and rail applications.
