The port is the southernmost port in Louisiana and centrally located in a large area of the Gulf that is rich in oil and natural gas drilling fields. Shallow water operations are serviced out of many ports along the Gulf Coast, but servicing for deepwater operations is located at select ports due to the use of larger vessels that are required to support deepwater operations. Due to its central location, deep channels, favorable weather conditions, and size, the oil and gas industry has chosen to concentrate its infrastructure for deepwater oil and gas operations support at Port Fourchon. Roughly 270 large supply vessels traverse the channels of Port Fourchon each day. Normally, about 75 percent of these vessels are servicing drilling rigs. Even though there are many more production platforms that require servicing than there are operating drilling rigs, drilling operations require much more material than production requires. The supplies and materials sent to rigs and platforms from Port Fourchon are brought into the port by the 600 eighteen-wheel trucks that travel on Louisiana Highway 1 (LA-1) each day.
