BOUCHARD TRANSPORTATION CO. INC.

Bouchard Transportation Co. Inc. is a family-owned company that has been involved in the maritime transportation industry for over a century. Founded in 1918, the company specializes in the transportation of petroleum products, typically utilizing a fleet of oil barges and tugboats to move cargo across the coastal waters of the United States, primarily along the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.


Historically, Bouchard Transportation has earned a reputation for its commitment to safety and efficiency. The company has invested in modernizing its fleet to meet safety and environmental regulations, aiming to minimize the risks associated with transporting hazardous materials.


However, in recent years, the company faced significant challenges. In 2020, Bouchard Transportation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to financial difficulties and legal issues related to safety violations and operational mishaps. This led to an overhaul of the company's management and restructuring efforts aimed at stabilizing its operations and financial standing.


Despite these challenges, Bouchard Transportation remains a key player in the maritime oil transportation sector, leveraging its long-standing expertise and extensive fleet operations. The company's workforce, including skilled mariners and support staff, continues to strive for operational excellence and adherence to safety and environmental standards.
