Ergon Marine & Industrial Supply Inc. (EMIS) has taken delivery of a new crew boat, M/V Big Valley 325. This addition expands the company’s total number of crew boats to three and increases its capacity to serve marine operators navigating the Mississippi River, EMIS officials said.

The 47-foot-long, 12-and-a-half-foot-wide vessel, powered by twin 300-horsepower outboard engines, enhances Ergon’s speed and efficiency in transporting crew members to vessels and delivering fuel and supplies to customers.

“This expansion is part of our commitment to provide reliable, round-the-clock service to commercial vessels along the Mississippi,” EMIS VP of Marine Operations Chris Maxwell said. “The addition of this new vessel also allows us to support fleeting operations at our Memphis location.”

Founded in 1969, EMIS has become a trusted partner for marine operators, providing mid-river refueling, fleeting and supplies from locations in Vicksburg and Memphis. EMIS offers 24-hour support with a strong focus on safety and efficiency. EMIS officials said this dedication to service and operational excellence has earned industry recognition, including the U.S. Coast Guard’s Meritorious Public Service Award.
