Biloxi, MS
Biloxi, once known as the “Seafood Capital of the World,” is a thriving maritime community located along Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. What makes the Port of Biloxi so appealing is its direct access to HWY 90 and proximity to I-10, allowing the nation’s top companies the ability to quickly and efficiently distribute their cargo throughout the United States. The Port of Biloxi’s premier location has made it the home of Mississippi’s fishing and oyster industry. While typically known for berthing shrimp and oyster boats, the Port of Biloxi also plays host to numerous vessels carrying twine, coal, steel, lumber, food products, chemicals and other cargo.
Maritime work is the lifeline of Biloxi’s economy. Without committed seamen who leave the safety of their family and homes for months at time to go out to sea, Biloxi would not be the flourishing maritime community that it is. In the face of dangerous and unpredictable Gulf conditions, offshore workers face considerable danger. The chances of getting injured at sea increase even further when co-workers, supervisors, or ship owners act negligently or irresponsibly.
