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.
