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

intelligence, and Franchise Team events, the CS helped Planet Beach
facilitate a sale worth nearly $91,000 to Shababco Enterprises in Saudi
Arabia.
