HISTORY
About
Danner’s Incorporated
 Founded
by D.D. Danner in 1939 in the burgeoning shipping center of the West
Gulf Coast, Danner’s Incorporated has a long-standing reputation of
meeting and exceeding the service needs of clients around the Gulf.
Danner’s Incorporated opened its
first branch office in Galveston, Texas in 1954 and the next opening
was in 1978 in Corpus Christi, Texas. The next offices followed with
the additions of Freeport, Texas in 1988, and finally Port Arthur,
Texas in 1991.
These new offices immediately brought about quicker turnarounds and
reduced costs for our clients, and made Danner’s one of the most
trusted independent maritime services company in the Gulf.
Meanwhile, in the spring of 2002,
Danner’s security and transportation continued to grow due to the
demanding need for experienced maritime security personnel and raised
requirements by Homeland Security. Combining our experienced and
dedicated staffs has strengthened our ability and commitment to
continue serving your needs beyond expectation.
We are now looking at the possibility of further expansion to the New
Orleans, Louisiana area. This office would be capable of serving an
area encompassing the Mississippi River from the pilot station to
Baton Rouge including the L.O.O.P via helicopter and launch as with
other coastal lightering areas.
