          expects suppliers to do the same.&#160; The Company has adopted a conflict minerals policy, which has been communicated internally to relevant personnel and to suppliers as described herein.&#160; The policy is available at
          http://kirbycorp.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/.&#160; The information on the Company&#8217;s web site does not constitute part of this Form SD.&#160; Certain terms used herein are defined in Item 1.01(d) of Form SD.</font></div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Through the Company&#8217;s distribution and services segment, the Company provides after-market service and parts for engines, transmissions,
          reduction gears, and related equipment used in oilfield services, marine, mining, power generation, on-highway, and other industrial applications. The Company also rents equipment including generators, fork lifts, pumps, and compressors for use
          in a variety of industrial markets, and manufactures and remanufactures oilfield service equipment, including pressure pumping units, for the oilfield service and oil and gas operator and producer markets.</font></div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">The Company has determined that tin, tungsten, tantalum, and/or gold (&#8220;3TG&#8221;) may be necessary to the functionality or production of one or
          more products manufactured by the Company or contracted by the Company to be manufactured, and therefore the Company has conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding those conflict minerals that is reasonably designed
          to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, or are from a recycled or scrap sources.</font></div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">The products that the Company manufactures are complex, typically containing numerous products from many suppliers.&#160; The Company has
          relationships with a significant number of suppliers throughout the world and there are generally multiple tiers between the 3TG mines and the Company&#8217;s direct suppliers.&#160; As a result, the Company must rely on its direct suppliers to work with
          upstream suppliers in order that they may provide the Company with accurate information about the origin of 3TG in the products the Company purchases from its direct suppliers.</font></div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Because of the complexity and size of the Company&#8217;s supply chain, it was not practicable to conduct a survey of all of the Company&#8217;s
          suppliers.&#160; For 2018, 126 of the Company&#8217;s suppliers were identified by the Company&#8217;s relevant business units as potentially supplying products that contain 3TG.&#160; The Company&#8217;s internal conflict minerals team was able to eliminate one supplier
          based on the team&#8217;s assessment that either (i) the necessary conflict minerals, if any, contained in the products supplied were outside of the supply chain prior to January 31, 2013, (ii) the products supplied did not contain 3TG, or (iii) the
          products supplied were not contained in products manufactured by the Company or its subsidiaries (or contracted by the Company or its subsidiaries to be manufactured).&#160; The remaining suppliers were sent (i) the Electronic Industry Citizenship
          Coalition (EICC)&#8211;Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (each, a &#8220;CMRT&#8221;) to request specified information regarding the inclusion of conflict minerals in the products supplied to the Company or its
          subsidiaries and the country of origin thereof, and (ii) a copy of the Company&#8217;s current conflict minerals policy.&#160; Each CMRT was evaluated for consistency, completeness, and accuracy and, in certain circumstances, further inquiries were made to
          clarify or improve the quality of the responses.&#160; Moreover, suppliers providing no response or an inadequate response were subject to additional written or oral requests for information.&#160; Information available from other sources (public and
          private) regarding the use and country of origin of conflict minerals in such suppliers&#8217; products was also obtained and reviewed.</font></div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Based on responses received, the Company determined that 3TG present in certain of its products may have originated in the Democratic
          Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and may not be from scrap or recycled sources.&#160; The Company has elected not to file disclosure under Item 1.01(c) of Form SD in accordance with the &#8220;Updated Statement on the Effect of the Court of
          Appeals Decision on the Conflict Minerals Rule&#8221; issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2017.</font></div>

      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">The disclosure included herein does not relate to the assets or businesses acquired from Parman Enterprises LLC (formerly Stewart &amp;
          Stevenson LLC) on September 13, 2017.&#160; Because Parman Enterprises LLC was not required to file a specialized disclosure report on Form SD prior to such acquisition, the reporting for such assets or businesses will be included in the Company&#8217;s
          future specialized disclosure reports on Form SD in accordance with Instruction 3 to Item 1.01 of Form SD.</font></div>
