FIVE-S MARINE Harbour, Sulphur, Louisiana | United States Marine Utilities

FIVE-S MARINE is a harbour facility located at 1500 Burton Shipyard Rd in Sulphur, Louisiana, United States. Situated in Calcasieu Parish, this operational harbour supports marine logistics and vessel services in the Gulf Coast region, a key area for maritime trade and energy transport. As a harbour facility, FIVE-S MARINE operates under U.S. federal regulations including the EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP) and NPDES permits for stormwater management. The facility likely handles a mix of cargo types typical of Gulf Coast harbours, such as bulk commodities and containerized goods. Louisiana's extensive network of waterways and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico make harbours like this critical for regional commerce. The environmental context includes proximity to sensitive coastal habitats such as marshes and estuaries common in Louisiana. Stormwater and oil-water management are key operational considerations to prevent pollution. The facility's role in supporting maritime activities contributes to the local economy and supply chain infrastructure.

Located in coastal Louisiana, FIVE-S MARINE operates near sensitive wetland ecosystems that provide critical habitat for wildlife and serve as natural storm buffers. The facility must manage stormwater runoff and potential oil-water discharges to comply with EPA NPDES permits and the Vessel General Permit. Proximity to the Calcasieu Ship Channel and Gulf of Mexico underscores the need for robust spill prevention and environmental monitoring.
