Edison Chouest Offshore

Started as Edison Chouest Boat Rentals in 1960, the Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) family of companies is a marine transportation operation.

Based in Galliano, Louisiana, ECO owns and operates a fleet of new generation offshore service vessels which support a vast majority of the U.S. Gulf deepwater market, light construction vessels, anchor handling, towing, oil spill response and stimulation vessels, as well as a large independently owned fleet of research vessels.

Chouest added North American Fabricators, (NAF), in Houma, in 1996 (now part of LaShip), Estaleiro NavShip, in Brazil, in 2005, Gulf Ship, in Gulfport MS, in 2007, Tampa Ship, the former Tampa Bay Shipbuilding, in 2008, and La Ship, in Houma, in 2011.
