Alternate Contact Information: Tropical Storm Isaac

As Hurricane Isaac enters the Gulf Coast, we are activating our Canal Barge Company Emergency Preparedness Plan. Is it possible that Hurricane Isaac may result in a loss of power for the CBC New Orleans and/or Sulphur areas. In order to continue our operations, you can continue to call the New Orleans office phone number (504-581-2424), the Sulphur office phone number (337-527-3314), and the three 800 or 888 numbers we have. As of Tuesday morning (August 28), all of those numbers will be forwarded to an auto attendant that will list a number of options to be connected to a designated CBC representative. Below is the recording you will hear if you dial either of these numbers. If you choose an option and there is no answer, you will be forwarded to an answering service.  We will resume normal phone operations when conditions return to normal. Please stay safe during Hurricane Isaac.
