Bouchard vessels earn Devlin Awards

JUNE 21, 2017 – Melville, NY-headquartered Bouchard Transportation Co., Inc. reports that 43 Bouchard-operated vessels have been awarded the Jones F. Devlin Award, recognizing their safety achievements in 2016, by the Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA)

The 43 vessels operated a total of three hundred and sixty-four years with no lost-time injuries, which, says Bouchard, is a true testament to the hard work and devotion Bouchard’s crew and safety department puts forth every day to ensure Bouchard always operates safely.

“Bouchard continues to hold safety as a top priority, and we are proud to see our vessels honored with Devlin Awards year after year”, said Kevin Donohue, Bouchard’s VP of Safety & Vetting. “Thank you to all of Bouchard’s dedicated crewmembers, who skillfully work to ensure we are always operating according to our safety management system, policies and procedures. These outstanding achievements are a direct result of your tireless efforts.”
