And we pass that experience on to our Captains every day - Captains who have been with Bisso for an average of over 24 years. Now, heading into our third century of operation, Bisso continues to invest in the best tugs for every possible job. Over the last 15 years, we’ve spent over $30 million on eight new tugs, including the first Z-drive tractor tug built on the lower Mississippi. And we will be adding our fourth Z-drive tractor tug in 2011. Today, we offer clients more security, maneuverability and horsepower with the largest fleet of twin screw, triple screw and tractor tugs on the Mississippi. This means we can send fewer tugs to do your jobs at a better overall price. So next time you’re looking for an assist on the Mississippi River, go with Bisso.

  • Geographies of New Orleans the Portable Port New Orleans Was Built on Shipping, but Its Center of Gravity Continues to Shift
    Geographies of New Orleans The Portable Port New Orleans was built on shipping, but its center of gravity continues to shift Richard Campanella Geographer, Tulane School of Architecture Contributing writer, “Geographies of New Orleans” Published in the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate, Sunday January 3, 2021, page 1. Unlike port cities, which usually expand outwardly from fixed historical cores, ports themselves tend to be rather portable. Needing to accommodate changing economies and technologies, the wharves and facilities for loading and unloading vessels are often moved to more versatile spaces, else shippers will opt for better ways to get goods to market. Maritime activity in New York City, for example, was once on Manhattan Island; now it’s in the outer boroughs and New Jersey. Ships that once called at San Francisco now go to Oakland, while those that dock at Seattle can also go to Tacoma. New Orleans’s port, too, has shifted over the centuries, and another big move appears to be forthcoming. Last month, the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) unanimously approved the acquisition of 1100 acres in the St. Bernard Parish community of Violet, fronting the Mississippi and straddling the Violet Canal. The chief motivator behind the downriver expansion is to accommodate the next generation of containerized ships designed to take advantage of the recently widened Panama Canal. These enlarged vessels have higher air draft (vertical clearance) and deeper water draft needs than those that currently dock at the uptown wharves. Docking at Violet would avoid the height restriction of the Crescent City Connection, and benefit from the current Army Corps of Engineers program to dredge the river to a depth of 50 feet.

The key to Louisiana’s economy is to stay a leader and continue to attract new business to the region. We can do this by keeping our waterways and infrastructure open and accessible to all types of businesses. A key issue for Louisiana’s Marine Transportation System is that deeper channels are needed to the Gulf. Deeper water is needed to move larger projects out to the Gulf of Mexico and keep Louisiana fabricators and the many associated businesses and water transportation companies competitive in the global market.

  • New Orleans, Delta City
    8 New Orleans, Delta City Elizabeth Mossop and Carol McMichael Reese he very existence of New Orleans is defined by its relationship T with the Mississippi River. The city was founded at a key strategic location, from which it controlled military and trade access to the Mississippi. Nevertheless, the city has a deeply troubled relationship with water today. Within the city, continuing subsid- ence increases the city’s vulnerability to flooding. Outside the city limits, the coastal land loss threatens the very existence of the city in the next one hundred years. As the coast moves inland, it creates confusion about what is coast, what is river, and where the city should exist. To analyze New Orleans as a river city is to examine the relationship not only between the city and the Mississippi River but also between the city and a net- work of waterways—the river, its diversions, bayous, and lakes—related topographi- cally to the riverine system and to the use of that network for transportation, commerce, and natural resource production and extraction. Much of the city was once a watery landscape of swamps and marshes, with limited access routes, characteristic of the Mississippi delta landscape (Figure 8.1). Within the city today, despite its being surrounded by and threaded with water bodies, the water is largely invisible, drained from the surface, and hidden by levees and floodwalls. Unless one makes a specific effort to find the water, it is possible to move through the city with- out ever seeing it. Until the late twentieth century, the city’s relationship with the river was defined in two ways: by the commerce of the port and shipping activities, vital to its economic exis- tence; and by the business of flood control and protection, vital to its continuing physical existence.

  • Jefferson Parish, Louisiana
    Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Opportunity Zones Prepared by the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO) Last updated: Summer 2020 What are Opportunity Zones? The Opportunity Zone program is a new community and economic development tool established by Congress that allows investments in certain economically- distressed communities to be eligible for preferential tax treatment. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 created this new community development program that encourages private investment in qualified Opportunity Zones. The program allows taxpayers to defer and reduce gain from the sale or exchange of property if the taxpayer reinvests the gain proceeds in a qualified opportunity fund. Louisiana secured U.S. Department of the Treasury certification for 150 lower-income census tracts to be Opportunity Zones. There are a total of seven opportunity zones in Jefferson Parish. Benefits To Investor For investors who realize capital gains from the sale of an investment, they can reinvest those gains in a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Defer taxes owed on the initial capital gains through 2026. 10% reduction of initial capital gains taxes if invested for at least 5 years. Invest by: December 31, 2021 15% reduction initial capital gains taxes if invested for at least 7 years. Invest by: December 31, 2019 Investors pay no new capital gains taxes if the investment earns any money after 10 years. Deferral of Capital Gain The general rule provides a deferral of capital gains that are invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) at the election of the taxpayer, gross income for the year does not include gain that does not exceed the aggregate amount invested by the taxpayer in a QOF during the 180-day period.

  • Sustainable Restoration Plan of Holy Cross/Lower 9Th Ward
    Sustainable Restoration Holy Cross Historic District & Lower 9th Ward Prevention – Protection – Preservation – Prosperity – Posterity – People June 2006 Sustainable Restoration Plan of Holy Cross/Lower 9th Ward Introduction After being damaged or destroyed by natural disasters, several communities in the United States have engaged in “sustainable recovery” since the mid 1990s – the practice of improving the social, economic, environmental and physical condition of the community so it is stronger than it was before the disaster occurred. This document is a preliminary plan for the sustainable restoration of the Lower 9th Ward in Orleans Parish, including the historic Holy Cross neighborhood.[1] This report was written eight months after Katrina, when conditions in the Lower 9th varied widely, from utter destruction and debris in the northern portions of the Lower 9th Ward to more moderate damage in Holy Cross, where most buildings remain standing. Because the condition of the Holy Cross neighborhood held out hope of more rapid recovery, the Bring New Orleans Back Commission designated it an “immediate opportunity area” where rebuilding could begin sooner than in some other parts of the City. That created an opportunity for Holy Cross to demonstrate sustainable restoration practices for the rest of the Lower 9th, the City of New Orleans, and other damaged communities along the Gulf Coast. The Lower 9th Ward faces formidable challenges as do all disaster-affected communities. All but 60 of the 6,000 residents of Holy Cross that fled the City after Katrina have returned. By the eight-month anniversary of the disaster, few were able to return because the area did not have utility services to support returning residents even if their property was habitable until Mid-May when the overnight curfew for residents was lifted.
