A new logistics company has launched in Louisiana with a mission to offer U.S.-based, veteran-owned solutions for capital projects across the Gulf Coast region. Gulf of America Logistics (GOAL), headquartered in Bossier City, enters the market at a time of significant investment in large-scale energy, infrastructure and industrial developments.Led by managing partner Brent Patterson, a U.S. Navy logistics veteran and former senior vice president at Blue Water Shipping, GOAL has been established to support clients executing major capital projects across sectors including LNG, petrochemicals, power generation, and infrastructure.鈥淭he Gulf Coast is currently one of the hottest markets for capital projects in North America,鈥� said Patterson. 鈥淔rom hydrogen hubs to carbon capture and refinery expansions, the demand for heavy-lift and specialized transport services is accelerating 鈥� and yet there have been very few local solutions providers. GOAL is here to change that.鈥滸OAL鈥檚 leadership team combines technical expertise with local regulatory knowledge and political insight. The company offers a full suite of logistics services including transportation engineering, feasibility studies, barging, rail and trucking, chartering, customs clearance, and HSSEQ.鈥淥ur team brings decades of experience, not just in project execution but in navigating Louisiana鈥檚 complex regulatory environment 鈥� from permitting to levee systems,鈥� Patterson added. 鈥淲e鈥檝e lived and worked through the Gulf鈥檚 hurricanes, tides and terrain. That local understanding is invaluable in mitigating the inherent risk that comes with operating in a challenging area such as the Gulf.鈥漃atterson said that while GOAL is focused primarily on delivering for U.S. capital projects, it also provides international 3PL support and multimodal solutions through its extended network.The GOAL leadership team is strengthened by the appointment of Rock Bordelon, owner and CEO of Allegiance Health Management, who joins as a partner. A prominent Louisiana entrepreneur with deep ties to the region鈥檚 business and regulatory landscape, Bordelon brings valuable local insight, commercial acumen and strong regional connections.Their fellow partner Chuck Paddock is a former executive at Ceres Barge Line and specialist in steel and inland waterways, while GOAL鈥檚 vice president of operations, Keith Lincoln, is a former director of logistics at Bertling Logistics Inc. with over 20 years of global projects experience.鈥淥ur team brings forwarding, barge, trucking, rail and EPC experience that鈥檚 critical to supporting the huge investment going on here in the Gulf,鈥� said Patterson. 鈥淎nd as barge and other asset capacity tightens, we鈥檙e ready with solutions.
