Walet WELCOME E-CRANE INTERNATIONAL Belgium based E-Crane Worldwide, a builder of electric, counterbalanced cranes since 1990 has signed a long term lease agreement with the Port of Iberia for a new assembly and service facility located next to Seadrill. The Port is making infrastructure improvements including new bulkheads to accommodate E-Crane. The company has delivered more than 100 cranes to the U.S. market from its base in Ohio with crane components manufactured in Poland and assembled in the United States. E-Crane International USA CEO Steve Osborne said the Port of Iberia was a perfect fit for this assembly facility. BROUSSARD ELECTED AS NEW COMMISSION PRESIDENT Patrick Broussard has recently been selected as President of the Port of Iberia Board of Commissioners. He replaces outgoing president Shane Walet. Appointed to the Board in 2020 by the Iberia Parish Council, Broussard is employed by Schlumberger Company and has been working in manufacturing for over 30 years. "I am looking for opportunities to diversify the industry in the Port. The ultimate goal is to improve the employment of the residents of the greater Acadiana area. The AGMAC project's completion will entice the diversified companies needed to meet these goals." Shane Walet passing the gavel to Patrick Broussard, New Port Comission President AGMAC UPDATE With Phase I of the deepening project nearing completion bids were recently received for Phase Il of the Acadiana Gulf of Mexico Access Channel (AGMAC). This second phase of dredging will be 20 miles long from Intracoastal City to the Freshwater Bayou lock. Orion Marine Group, one of the industry's premier dredging companies, was awarded the contract. Work is expected to begin this month and will take 400 contract days to complete. This Phase II of the AGMAC project will complete 60 miles of dredging which began 2-1/2 years ago. Thanks to our legislative delegation for securing $20 million this year and $104 million in capital outlay funds in previous years, and for their commitment to the Port of Iberia and this project. Port Executive Director Craig Romero stated that some Port businesses have already seen an impact of the deeper channel by being able to have heavier barge loads of equipment and supplies. The AGMAC project will provide local industries in Iberia and Vermilion parishes with approximately 50 miles of navigable waterway with a 16-foot channel depth. P.O.
