Job description

The river doesn’t stop.
Neither do we.

For decades, Belle Chasse Marine Transportation has been a trusted name in vessel support on the Lower Mississippi. We’re hiring experienced 100-ton captains who want steady work, modern equipment, and a company that respects the people behind the wheelhouse.

100-Ton USCG · Year-round schedule · Pilot Town to Baton Rouge · Vessel support

Why captains choose BCMT

The Mississippi never sleeps, and neither does the demand for dependable marine transportation. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when customers need us — and we hand that stability to our captains.

  • Stable, year-round work — no chasing seasonal contracts
  • Paid time off & retirement benefits
  • Well-maintained, modern equipment
  • Ongoing training & career advancement
Safety comes first

Nothing matters more than sending our crews home safely. Our captains are empowered to make safe decisions and backed by leadership that understands life on the river — professional seamanship, regulatory compliance, ongoing training, and accountability at every level.

Work where your experience matters

At BCMT, captains aren’t just employees — they’re leaders. Here’s who we’re looking for:

  • Hold the appropriate USCG credentials
  • Experience navigating the Mississippi River system
  • Strong leadership and decision-making skills
  • Prioritize safety and professionalism

If you value reliability, accountability, and teamwork — you’ll fit right in.
