In an industry where the bottom line is controlled by efficiency in cargo movement, expediting vessel turnaround is a key factor in determining profit or loss. Chouest's port services are second to none, reinforcing ECO's role as the preeminent offshore supply source in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil.

Drydock Facilities
Meeting the Demands of the Future, Today
The northern development of Port Fourchon has enabled ECO to continue the expansion of port operations to meet future demands. The facility includes a towering fifteen-story covered drydock to perform preservation, repair and inspection projects on the largest of vessels.

Clean Tank
Setting a Clean Standard for the Industry
