There's nothing like a good meal to bring a crew together. Aboard the MV Frances Devall, Tankerman Russell Lebouef prepared pasta for the crew.

Special thanks to Michael Huerta for the photo.

Please join us in welcoming the MV Sutton Devall, the newest addition to our growing fleet.

This boat name reflects a Southern Devall tradition of recognizing employee tenure through vessel naming opportunities. New boats are typically named after the company employee with the greatest tenure, who may also choose to dedicate the vessel to someone meaningful in their life. Employee Alfred Devall selected the name MV Sutton Devall in honor of his son.

We are excited to see the MV Sutton Devall begin its journey and continue the tradition of service, reliability, and excellence that defines Southern Devall.

Take a front-row seat as Relief Capt Alton Verdin Jr. guides our vessel through the Industrial and Algiers Locks. This time-lapse captures a part of life on the water that few people get to see, showcasing the skill, focus, and professionalism our crews bring to every journey.

Thank you, Capt Verdin, for sharing another incredible view from our waterways.
