If you're looking for Bisso Towboat, you're in the right place. As of July 1, 2026, Bisso Towboat Co., Inc. has officially merged into Moran Towing Corporation, and our combined operations now serve the Lower Mississippi River region from New Orleans. Nothing about the quality or reliability of your service has changed, only the name on the door.
What This Means for You
Your existing contracts, service relationships, and points of contact remain in place. The same captains and crew you've worked with continue operating out of New Orleans under the Moran flag. Dispatch and operations contact information is available on our New Orleans port page, and current rates and conditions can be found on our rates page. If you have a question we haven't answered here, our team is ready to help.

Why We Came Together
Moran has operated in New Orleans since 2006, and we've long admired Bisso's reputation for reliable, high-quality ship-assist service and its deep roots in the region, dating back to 1890. Like Moran, Bisso has always been family-owned and employee-focused, and that shared foundation made this an easy decision. Bringing our two fleets together lets us invest further in the people, equipment, and operations that keep the Lower Mississippi River moving for decades to come.
