E.N. Bisso & Son is a mid-sized maritime transportation company based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Its roots extend back to 1880, when Captain Joseph Bisso launched a ferry service to cross the Mississippi; the oars in the logo honor those origins. After a 1946 split, the firm was established as E.N. Bisso & Son and developed into a harbor tug and towing operator serving the U.S. Gulf and East Coasts. The company provides ship-assist and harbor tug services, including docking and undocking ships and ATBs, as well as escort, hold-in, and standby operations. Operations are concentrated across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and the company is described as a leading provider in its region. 

 The organization emphasizes safety and dependable service, aiming for safe, timely, and efficient performance. Its customers are ship owners and operators requiring harbor assistance for docking, undocking, and vessel escorting. A notable recent development is the 2018 acquisition of Petchem Inc., a Port Canaveral-based tug operator, which broadened its operational footprint. The company maintains a family-owned legacy, guided by values centered on safety, service, entrepreneurial thinking, predictability, and urgency.
