The Tampa-based maritime company A.R. Savage Company LLC helped establish ocean shipping in Tampa Bay, with family roots in shipping dating back to before the U.S. Civil War. Now the family behind the company is celebrating 80 years of continuous family ownership and operations of their maritime company and is expanding with a new partnership to serve ports throughout the Americas from their headquarters in Tampa.
To recognize these many milestones, the company is celebrating with clients, partners and friends on the evening of Wednesday, November 12 at the University Club. The company is publishing a special edition booklet highlighting the history of the family business, which will be given to everyone in attendance.
Following WWII, Arthur Russell Savage established his company initially as a ship agent and later as an ocean freight forwarder. When Arthur’s son, Bill, married Shirley McKay, the Savage family was now connected to the McKay family, who could trace its shipping roots to the 1840s in Tampa Bay. The family patriarch Captain James McKay Sr. proved in the 1840s commercial shipping could work in Tampa Bay, notably by shipping cattle from Florida to Cuba.
Now as a ship agent and ocean freight forwarder, its operating company A.R. Savage & Son is involved in nearly every step of an ocean-going freight vessel moving through ports such as Tampa. From logistics and compliance, berthing arrangements, arranging harbor pilots, fuel refills, mooring lines, warehousing, cargo loading/unloading, customs clearing, and caring for crews.
