Move to meet surging U.S. project cargo demand
A new logistics company has launched in Louisiana with a mission to offer U.S.-based, veteran-owned solutions for capital projects across the Gulf Coast region.
Gulf of America Logistics (GOAL), headquartered in Bossier City, enters the market at a time of significant investment in large-scale energy, infrastructure and industrial developments.
Led by managing partner Brent Patterson, a U.S. Navy logistics veteran and former Senior Vice President, Blue Water Shipping, GOAL has been established to support clients executing major capital projects across sectors including LNG, petrochemicals, power generation, and infrastructure.
Capital projects
“The Gulf Coast is currently one of the hottest markets for capital projects in North America,” said Patterson. “From hydrogen hubs to carbon capture and refinery expansions, the demand for heavy-lift and specialized transport services is accelerating – and yet there have been very few local solutions providers. GOAL is here to change that,” he continued.
The GOAL leadership team is strengthened by the appointment of Rock Bordelon, owner and CEO, Allegiance Health Management, who joins as a partner.
GOAL is in the process of securing a port facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana and has also struck an exclusive agreement to provide asset-based trucking services in the region, a press note concluded.
