Laborde Marine Management, LLC, (“Laborde Marine”) announced today
the creation of a new affiliate, LabMar Inland, LLC (the “Company”)
that will focus on the U.S. inland marine market, providing towing
and pushboat services. The initial vessel to be placed in service
will be the Ivy Steiner, a new 2,000-horsepower pushboat. The
Company intends to expand its presence in the inland marine market.
All aspects of the operation of the vessel will be provided under
the same high standards that have been the hallmark of Laborde
Marine.
Ashton Laborde, President of Laborde Marine
Management, commented “We are very pleased to announce our entry
into the inland marine market through our new affiliate, LabMar
Inland, LLC and our initial charter of the Ivy Steiner. We intend
to grow this new facet of our operations with additional towing and
pushboat vessels, which is a natural extension of our many years of
serving the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We have the
in-house expertise, strong management team and skilled crews to
quickly build our presence inland. We will overlay our safety
culture that has made us a trusted marine services provider for
over 30 years to all aspects of these new operations. We see
increasing demand for our services in the brown water markets of
the U.S. as well as the offshore Gulf of Mexico and look forward to
growing in both markets.”
The Company commented that it is not affiliated
in any way with Laborde Products Inc., a third-party owned services
company.
