Next up in our Meet the Shoreside Team series are James & James Adams from our Offshore Division. Yes, you read that right—they share the same first and last names! Their history goes back beyond being employed at Marquette. They have been friends since the age of three! To keep them straight around the office, they're known as Big James and Lil James. And to top it all off, they are also both Logistics Managers, playing a crucial role in keeping our vessels operational. Pictured first is James (aka Big James): “I began my role as Logistics Manager with Marquette’s Offshore Division in May of 2012. We manage the daily movements/schedules & charters of the Marquette Offshore fleet and other vessels through our brokerage work. What I like most about my job is the variety of services we provide from dredging to project cargo. In the wide range of services that Marquette Offshore provides, everyday offers new challenges and opportunities to prove ourselves as leaders in the industry. I live in Vacherie, LA with my wife Aimee and two children, Lola and Matthew.” Pictured second is James (aka Lil James or “LJ”): “I began working in the oilfield/marine industry in 2005 with C&D Production Specialist, Inc., starting as an entry-level Production Operator/Logistics Coordinator and leaving in 2014 as an Operations Manager overseeing operations of all offshore production personnel. I joined Marquette’s Offshore Division as a Logistics Manager in September 2017 and currently live in Lockport, LA, with my wife Lisa and our three children, Broc, Avery, and Christian #marquettetransportation #poweredbyOURpeople

Remembering Captain Leonardo "Lenny" Wardlaw: A passionate leader who began his career at Marquette in 2009, leaving behind a legacy of commitment and excellence. Throughout his time here, he impacted countless lives and will be deeply missed. Eight Bells is the traditional way of saying that a sailor's watch is over. The sounding of the ship's bell is well rooted in the history and tradition of the maritime industry. The bell marked time onboard and divided the day into shifts or ‘watches’ for the crew. At the end of the last shift, the end of the last watch, eight bells rang out – Eight Bells and All is Well. A sailor's time for rest. 📸 Jody Acree

Meet the M/V Miss Becky from our Offshore Division! This vessel was built in 1998 by Portier Shipyard in Chauvin, LA. The M/V Miss Becky is rated as a 2,000 HP Offshore Tug with a 30,000 gallon fuel capacity. She typically works Offshore in multiple harbors along the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, but at times transits on the Lower Mississippi River, Ohio River, Tenn Tom Waterway, and Tennessee River. Typically, this vessel works with dredge equipment building back beaches or expanding ports and waterways. Sometimes she will also tow barges along the coastlines, and on certain jobs, may even towline barges up river to Pittsburgh or Huntsville. Fun Fact: This tugboat is named after Becky Mott in our Offshore Division whose been employed with Marquette since 2008! #marquettetransportation
