L & O MARINE, INC
L & O Marine is basically a liquid cargo logistical and
transportation company. We either charter our barges on a time
charter or bare boat charter basis or move cargo in our barges on a
point to point, per ton affreightment basis. While the
company has concentrated on moving “Non-regulated cargo”, We
certainly have the capability to move virtually any liquid cargo.
The non-regulated cargos that we primarily transport are: oilfield
drilling fluids (calcium chloride, calcium bromide and zinc
bromide), oilfield exploration and production wastes, liquid
fertilizers (UAN, ammonium thiosulfate, etc.), petrochemical
manufacturing byproducts, various wastewater cargos, molasses and
other cargos that fall into this category.
L & O Marine, Inc. was founded in April of 1996. Jim Orr
bought out his partner in October of 2005. Max Orr joined the
company in 2004 to assist with the buyout and transition. Jim
Orr handles most of the operational chores, while Max concentrates
on the financial and regulatory issues. Our main office is in
Kenner, LA and we have warehouse space at other locations.
We have the expertise to move cargos classified by the USCG as
Sub-chapter “D” or Subchapter “O” (regulated cargos). Depending on
the characteristics of the particular cargo, we can usually obtain
suitable equipment through our extensive network of associates.
If the equipment does not exist, we can arrange for the construction
of the equipment.
Jim Orr has been in the liquid cargo transportation business as the
owner of a Tankerman Service and a NAMS Certified Marine Surveyor
that specialized in tank barges and liquid cargo. He was also
employed as a Marine Superintendent for a major oilfield chemical
company with budgetary and management responsibility for a fleet of
tank barges and their related repair and maintenance, capital
projects and logistical functions for the equipment and cargos.
In all, he brings to the business many years of experience with
cargos, barges, towing companies and tankermen services. He
has the knowledge and the capability to get the job done in the real
world.
Max Orr has spent his career in the manufacturing business, and
is retired from General Motors and Rolls-Royce Aerospace. He
