Montco's Mission Statement:
Since beginning our liftboat operations in 1978, Montco's mission has always been to provide our customers with leading edge innovative liftboats that are exceptionally maintained by our experienced and knowledgeable mariners. Over time, this combination has proven to be the best way to allow our customer's work to be completed in the most cost-effective, environmentally responsible, and overall safest manner for both our crew and the customers onboard.
Beginnings
Located in Galliano, LA, Montco, Inc. was founded by the Orgeron family in 1948. In the many years that followed, Montco has seen many changes. From 1948-1964, Montco primarily operated inshore and offshore high-speed crew boats.
Growth
In 1965, Montco expanded into the offshore market with its first 140' offshore supply vessel. Montco's fleet grew and within the ten years following, the total fleet was up to 15 boats. With a continuing boom in offshore drilling, Montco moved into larger offshore vessels, including (3) ocean -going tugs, (2) large deck barges, (5) offshore supply vessels, and in 1979 introduced the first offshore jack-up barges (liftboats) into the Montco fleet.
