Lydia Ann Channel Fleet

Lydia Ann Channel Fleet As one of the largest fleets in Texas our mission is to effectively and safely serve our customers. LAC Fleet monitors VHF Channel 72 twenty four hours a day.

The New Lydia Ann Channel Fleet is located across from the Port Aransas Light House just off the south bank of San Jose Island between beacons 97 and 101. Located on the preferred route for inland mariners traveling to the Port of Corpus Christi, the LAC Fleet is only a few hours away from the harbor, yet is out of the way of ship traffic. The Lydia Ann Channel Fleet consists of over 8500 linear f

eet of steel moorings driven a minimum of thirty feet below the mud line with a minimum controlled depth of twelve feet of water. There are no buoys or lines to shore that will damage or ground equipment. Crew boats and a 1200 hp push boat are available twenty-four hours a day to both ensure the safety and security of all equipment as well as provide round the clock access to that equipment. The LAC Fleet management team has over sixty-five years of experience in the marine industry–from fleeting to towboat management. We strive to provide the best service possible, and our team is in constant contact with customers’ logistics groups and the Corpus Christi Harbormaster–ensuring that equipment is always available when called to dock.

Today is Falls Overboard Safety Standdown Day. Whether you’re working commercially or enjoying the water recreationally, take a few minutes to think about what keeps you safe.

Make sure you have the right life jacket, know how to properly put it on and secure it, and keep it readily accessible. Stay aware of your surroundings, maintain three points of contact when possible, and never underestimate how quickly a fall overboard can happen.

A few minutes of preparation can make all the difference. Stay safe and look out for one another.

Today is Falls Overboard Safety Standdown Day!

Across America's waterways, vessel operators, mariners, and safety leaders are coming together to discuss falls overboard prevention and recommit to protecting every member of our crews.

Take 10-15 minutes today to review procedures, discuss risks, reinforce safe work practices, and identify opportunities to make your operation even safer. Because one fall overboard is one too many.

Participating? Share a photo of your discussion and use and to show your commitment to safety and join mariners nationwide in this important conversation.
