Coast Guard Sector New Orleans

200 Hendee St.
New Orleans, LA 70114

The headquarters of Sector New Orleans is in the newly constructed Federal City on the Westbank of New Orleans in Algiers, a state-of-the-art complex that will attract thousands of federal and private-sector workers during the next 10 years.

The area of responsibility (AOR) for Sector New Orleans encompasses three search-and-rescue stations, four 87-foot patrol boats, three marine safety units, two buoy tenders and four aids to navigation teams. The Port of Greater Baton Rouge, Port of South Louisiana, Port of New Orleans, Saint Bernard Port, Port of Plaquemines, Port Fourchon and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) are all part of Sector New Orleans. South Louisiana is home to the busiest port complex in the Western Hemisphere, with approximately 6,000 vessel arrivals annually. The Intracoastal Waterway also cuts through Sector New Orleans’ AOR. Originally envisioned to carry 8 million tons of cargo when it was built in the 1920s, the Intracoastal Waterway now carries 120 million tons of freight per year.

There are approximately 275 active-duty and Reserve members and 41 civilian personnel assigned to Sector New Orleans.
