Integration of services provided by all of the Allison Marine Facilities
ALLISON MARINE - MORGAN CITY, LLC. Allison Marine’s Morgan City facility is used to provide marshaling services in the Morgan City area. Allison Marine – Morgan City supports large offshore construction projects and provides facilities for project materials integration testing and long term or short term storage. Project materials can be transported by barge to be trans-loaded to deep draft supply vessels, just in time to be transported offshore to the construction site.
Considering the costs of offshore construction spreads with vessels, crane ships and specialty craft personnel, it is very important for operators to have high-level shore support. Allison's objective is to compliment offshore operations by having a good plan and the facilities, equipment and personnel to carry out that plan.
Allison chose Morgan City as the Port location for this facility for a variety of reasons. Morgan City offers all of the necessary services to support offshore operations. The area is home to many companies providing marine transportation services. It is centrally located to all areas of the Gulf of Mexico. Morgan City is a protected harbor offering shelter from hurricanes and it is a fresh water port that is more suitable for storage life of the project materials.
Access to the Port of Morgan City is via the Atchafalaya River. Currently under congressional mandate to keep the channel open to 20 feet deep, plans are currently underway to deepen the channel to 35 feet. The deep channel will attract many of the larger freight carrying vessels and construction vessels normally restricted to the deeper draft ports.
