Though Port Fourchon has traditionally supported the oil and gas industry, it's America's energy needs that get Fourchon officials' attention. "We have been building this port for oil and gas," said Davie Breaux, Port Fourchon's deputy port director, "but we can walk right into the alternative energy industry in the future." In fact, Crowley Maritime recently signed an agreement with the port commission to potentially lease and develop an offshore wind terminal. The AO-acre site, which has over 2,200 linear feet of prime waterfront property, is expected to become a purpose-driven offshore wind facility. Located at Slip C, adjacent to the Flotation Canal, the site is a prime location to service the burgeoning offshore wind market in the Gulf of Mexico, Breaux said. |
