As 2017 comes to a close and 2018 begins, we have all been looking back on the phenomenal year we’ve had at Cenac Marine 
Services. Our team was very fortunate to be a part of so many momentous events in the Houma area. In this moment of reflection, we see what we have been able to accomplish, and set our eyes on what is to come.
One of the guiding principles that make up a large part of Cenac’s company culture is service. Not only do we value service for our customers and our partners, but we equally value service in our South Louisiana community. Two of our greatest community achievements in 2017 that we were remarkably proud to be a part of were the donation of a barge to the South Central Louisiana Technical College and our participation in the Houma Downtown Christmas Festival.
The barge donation was finalized and christened in November 2017. The dedicated barge, which measures 158 feet by 40 feet, is an exact replica of a standard Cenac Marine Services tank barge with all the bells and whistles. Mr. Benny Cenac, CEO of Cenac Marine Services, expressed his gratitude and excitement in being able to donate this important piece of equipment to the college during the christening of the barge. He explained his hopes for the future of his Houma and South Louisiana community that will be directly affected by this gift as it will provide elite training and mold qualified personnel to be future industry front-runners. We look forward to a building and maintaining a strong relationship with those at South Louisiana Community College as we watch the outcome of the barge donation grow over years to come.
Cenac Marine Services was privileged to participate in the Downtown Houma Christmas Festival for the 2nd year in a row. Being able to contribute to the addition of the Christmas Festival was something we were looking forward to all year. It is vital for our area to have family friendly events that can become a part of our yearly holiday traditions. Our Cenac family had a great time participating in the events, both through volunteer setup and attending the festival and parade. We are once again looking forward to continuing to support and participate in this event year after year.
