All Coast to construct 250-foot leg liftboat

All Coast LLC of Lafayette, one of the largest liftboat operators in the Gulf of Mexico, announces it has entered into a contract with SEMCO LLC to construct a 250-foot leg liftboat, which will be equipped with two 175-ton leg-mounted cranes and will have the capacity of accommodating 50 people. The vessel is expected to be delivered in about 15 months, will carry a U.S. flag, and will be named the “Great White.” With this new build, coupled with the L/B Barracuda, which is being enlarged and refurbished, the All Coast fleet will total 31 active vessels. Financing for this project has been led by Whitney Bank.
