A.R. Savage Company was founded in 1945 by Arthur Russell Savage, a former Vice President of the Atlantic Coastline Railroad. He became a lead shipping agent on Florida’s west coast. In 1955, his son, William Savage expanded the company’s services to include ocean freight forwarding and stevedoring at Port of Tampa cargo berths. Shirley Savage Knight took over in 1982 and guided the company towards container handling services. Arthur R. Savage, the founder’s grandson, joined the Intermodal Shipping company in 1984 and has diversified the company into container yards, intermodal trucking and high-speed passenger vessels. He also introduced the “topping-off” technique for loading deep-draft, dry-bulk cargo. Arthur Savage currently serves as the Honorary Consul for Denmark and Norway.
