Edison Chouest of Galliano operates a fleet of offshore service and research vessels, and contacted the CS New Orleans office for help with a project involving Petrobras, the Brazilian national oil company. The CS New Orleans and Brazil offices assisted the two companies, helping secure U.S. Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) funding and import documentation necessary for the project. As a result, Petrobras contracted with two of Edison's new generation platform vessels for eight-year charters, a transaction valued at $17 million.
Planet Beach Contempo Spa, a Marrero franchisor, markets what it calls
an "automated day spa of the future" concept. Looking to expand its
franchise equipment into Saudi Arabia, the company contacted the CS
New Orleans office. As a direct result of CS trade counseling, market
intelligence, and Franchise Team events, the CS helped Planet Beach
facilitate a sale worth nearly $91,000 to Shababco Enterprises in Saudi
Arabia.
