In 1996, the corporate offices for the Company were relocated to Pass Christian, Mississippi. This move helped to provide a more centralized position and focus on all Gulf of Mexico activity. However, with the unfortunate disaster of Hurricane Katrina taking place in August of 2005, the corporate office was then moved to Tampa, Florida. In September of 2016, Fillette Green was bought out; thus, causing the corporate office to be relocated to Houston, Texas. Mr. Derrick N. Thomas was named the new CEO/President of Christian Bay Shipping Co d/b/a Fillette Green Shipping Services (USA) Corp. Within a few weeks after the acquisition, the beloved former CEO, Mr. Robert N. Pundsack, sadly passed away. All members of the Fillette Green team are devoted to the continued carrying out of his legacy and are focused on taking the company to even greater heights.

In the midst of an ever-evolving industry, Fillette Green continues to focus on offering all clients a full-service operation with the ability to provide full port representation within the United States, regulatory compliance assistance, port or terminal specifications, crew transportation, and a vast expertise surrounding traditional chartering, brokering, forwarding, bunkering, and turn key projects.

A LITTLE ABOUT US.

Gatlin‘s BBQ is a family owned and operated establishment that serves up classic Southern barbecue. Opening its doors in 2010 it quickly became a hidden gem in the Houston area. After receiving numerous local and statewide accolades Gatlin‘s was regarded as the go to craft barbecue joint in Houston. As the BBQ scene in Houston continued to grow, so did Gatlin‘s BBQ. In 2015 Gatlin’s moved to its current location in Oak Forest where it continues to thrive. The building and location may have changed but the heart and soul is still the same! So get on over to Gatlin‘s barbecue, where love is the secret ingredient.

The highly anticipated sibling restaurant to Gatlin’s BBQ, Gatlin’s Fins & Feathers is the new concept from acclaimed chef-owner Greg Gatlin. The restaurant is nestled in Historic Independence Heights, where Gatlin’s father and family grew up. Gatlin will serve fried chicken as crispy as it is tender to mouthfuls of fresh local oysters, Gatlin’s Fins & Feathers brings together Texas comfort food and Gulf Coast catches for a menu that is quintessentially Houston.

The menu––created by Gatlin, Gatlin BBQ Executive Chef Michelle Wallace, and Fins & Feathers’ Chef de Cuisine Darius King––is a mouthwatering testament to traditional Southern fare’s modern inclusiveness. The expansive list of starters is sure to set the tone with Chargrilled Oysters to New Orleans BBQ Shrimp or try the Not My Momma’s Biscuits with seasonal jams. The Clucker is Gatlin’s spin on a charcuterie board. Their menu also includes head-turning soups and salads, showstopping Sandos, and an extensive list of entrees from fried chicken to catfish, all promising generous plates of nostalgia. It is the New South, in full possession of its delicious diversity.


“Here on the Gulf Coast, it’s so nice to have somewhere in your neighborhood where you can get fresh, great seafood. I also think everybody remembers who had the best fried chicken in their town when they were growing up––maybe it was their own grandma. We want to tap into that and make you feel the same way when you eat ours.”
