About Port Fourchon
Port Fourchon on the Louisiana coast is the main supply base for the deepwater oil and gas fields offshore. Supply boats, crew boats and tugs sail from here around the clock.
Who orders beef in Port Fourchon
Tugs, supply boats and barge crews order crew-mess beef in frequent, smaller lots. Domestic vessels need no export certificate. Ship chandlers in Port Fourchon can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.
How delivery works
Houston, Galveston, Texas City and Freeport get direct delivery by reefer truck from our Houston-area cold store, with same-day delivery for orders confirmed before our cutoff. The rest of the Gulf Coast, from Brownsville to Port Manatee, is served by reefer truck from Houston. We quote the lead time with every order.
Our reefer truck runs from Houston to Port Fourchon with the order sealed and logged. For ships at anchor we hand off to a local launch service.
