Expansive Port Facilities Focused on Efficiency
ECO's expansive facilities at Port Fourchon provide superior vessel support and unmatched efficiency at the hub of material movement in the Gulf of Mexico. 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.
C-Port
The Model for Material Movement and Vessel Service
In 1996, ECO had a vision to create a truly workable solution to minimizing port turnaround time. The result is C-Port, a revolutionary multi-service terminal concept located at Port Fourchon. Today, C-Port serves as the focal point of Chouest port operations, incorporating 18 specialized slips and 37 overhead cranes working around the clock to transfer cargo and provide support to deepwater offshore vessels.

Martin Terminal
Traditional Services, Uncompromising Service
While C-Port caters to the deepwater exploration industry, Martin Terminal assists in serving the supply and material needs of ECO's more traditional shelf drilling and production customers. Comprising over 75 acres, Martin Terminal offers extensive staging, storage, dispatching and lubricant services. Martin's north yard offers over 1,200 linear feet of dockside loading area.
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. ECO recently opened a towering fifteen-story covered drydock to perform preservation, repair and inspection projects on the largest of vessels. Construction is underway on additional facilities for loading, staging and storage.
