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.

  • Metro New Orleans' Unsung Heroes Including Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes
    Metro New Orleans’ Unsung Heroes including Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes Behind these gates is a path made of stories in which strong inspired people gave immeasurable selfless contributions to their neighborhoods and/or greater communities. They are the Metro New Orleans’ “Unsung Heroes.” Louisiana٠70119 New Orleans٠ 3308 Tulane Avenue٠ Metro CCP٠ Metro CCP’s Unsung Heroes On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore washing away lives, families, homes, careers, and businesses. Katrina forever changed the place called home. Shortly thereafter, Hurricane Rita brought more water into the already devastated city. Some of the people survived the storm to later leave survivors behind; others are walking bands of tension popping under the duress of daily life. Then there are those that rose up to the occasion without regard to themselves just the desire to help others. It has been a privilege to record the tales of those who had no desire to be a hero just wanted to serve, protect, rescue and assist their fellow man. These are truly “unsung heroes” and their stories are testimony to human spirit of survival and sacrifice. They extol community, love, and decency. We are unable to identify every unsung hero, yet the ones in this publication are a symbol to all. The timeline of service varies from the day of Katrina’s surge to the present. Some are no longer with us in body; only in spirit may their good work inspire others to answer the call to serve. Some have moved on to work elsewhere. They are current residents, former residents, new residents, volunteers, workers, and missionaries.
