InterMoor President Tom Fulton announced "InterMoor is excited about storing all of Diamond Offshore’s mooring equipment such as chain, wire and anchors for its Gulf of Mexico drilling needs," said Fulton.

The new facility includes more than 1,200 feet of bulkhead waterfront dock space, a warehouse, office, training center and living quarters.

The crane, which is the largest of its kind in the Port of Fourchon, is expected to be commissioned and operational in the 4th quarter 2007.
