The Edison Chouest Offshore companies (ECO) are the most technologically advanced and fastest-growing offshore vessel service providers in the world. Founded in Galliano, Louisiana, in 1960, ECO has more than tripled in size since 1993. ECO owns and operates a growing fleet of new generation offshore service vessels supporting the U.S. Gulf deepwater market, as well as a large fleet of international research vessels. The ability to build, own and operate highly specialized offshore vessels, combined with the ability to provide customers with the right vessel at a competitive price, has made ECO unique in the offshore boat service industry.
ECO's high-tech, high-capacity offshore vessels range from 87 feet to 348 feet. ECO has two ship building facilities in Louisiana — North American Shipbuilding in Larose and La Ship in Houma — as well as the Gulf Ship shipyard in Gulfport, Mississippi, and the Navship shipyard in Navigantes, Brazil. ECO also operates an expansive port facility at Port Fourchon, Louisiana, where state-of-the-art terminals work around the clock to safely and efficiently transfer cargo, and provide a wide range of support services accommodating the largest of deepwater offshore vessels.
