CHANTAL C, INC.

CHANTAL C, INC. specializes in supporting federal marine science operations through the operation and maintenance of specialized vessels for coastal fisheries research. Their core capability centers on conducting bottom trawl surveys in nearshore and continental shelf environments, particularly along the U.S. West Coast, to collect biological and environmental data critical to stock assessment and ecosystem monitoring. The contractor provides technical vessel operations for scientific missions, including deployment of trawl gear, hydroacoustic sampling, and real-time data logging under NOAA protocols. Their expertise includes navigating complex coastal currents, adhering to marine mammal and bycatch mitigation protocols, and ensuring compliance with federal environmental and safety standards during extended survey missions. This niche focus on operational support for groundfish research distinguishes them as a reliable provider of mission-critical maritime services to scientific agencies. The contractor has demonstrated consistent engagement with the Department of Commerce, primarily through its National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting fisheries science missions that require precise vessel handling and data collection in sensitive marine habitats. Their work aligns with NOAA’s mission to sustain healthy ocean ecosystems through evidence-based management, indicating a pattern of trusted, mission-aligned partnerships focused on long-term ecological monitoring. Their primary industry focus is in Coastal and Great Lakes Passenger Transportation (NAICS 483114), which in practice translates to non-recreational, science-driven maritime operations rather than commercial transit. This positions them as a specialized provider in the federal marine research support sector, serving a highly regulated and technically demanding niche. CHANTAL C, INC. is a small, privately held entity based in Brookings, Oregon, with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic proximity to key Pacific fisheries management zones enhances their operational readiness and logistical efficiency for West Coast research campaigns. They maintain a focused market presence as a regional provider of vessel services for federal marine science programs.
