Crosby Enterprises subsidiaries file for Chapter 11

Galliano, La.-based Crosby Enterprises LLC reports that on March 23 it filed Chapter 11 cases for several of its subsidiary/affiliate units: Crosby Tugs LLC., Crosby Dredging LLC and Crosby Marine Transportation LLC, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana on March 23, 2026.

The focus of the filings is to restructure the company’s secured debt to improve the company’s financial position, all while maintaining the company’s position as a regional leader in vessel services.

The company says that it will continue to serve new and existing customers with its tug and dredge operations. As part of the Chapter 11 cases, the company filed “first day” motions that, when granted, will enable day-to-day operations to continue as usual. For example, the company has requested authority to pay its employee wages and benefits without change or interruption. The company expects it will pay all suppliers and vendors under normal terms for goods and services provided during the Chapter 11 cases.

The company says it has obtained additional financing to ensure that it has adequate cash available to maintain operations and meet payroll obligations while the company finds the right long-term partners and achieves a sustainable debt level.

The company has engaged Lugenbuhl, Wheaton, Peck, Rankin and Hubbard as legal counsel, SierraConstellation Partners as restructuring advisor, and Raymond James as financial advisor and investment banker.
