Posted to Maritime Reporter TV ( by MRTV ) on January 11, 2026

Owning and operating a quiet boat offers many benefits, from crew comfort and retention to efficient, safe operations. While the benefits are clear, it’s generally not the first line of design and concern for most vessel owners. Recently in New Orleans Maritime Reporter TV had the opportunity to tap the minds and experience of experts – Jesse Spence, President, Noise Control Engineering; Bob Lennon, Industry Manager and Expert, Regal Rexnord; and Matthew Coombs, VP, North American Operations, Christie & Grey Inc. – for their insights on the optimal time in the vessel design and build process to address noise control; and some of the best tools available to get the job done.

Founded in 1994 as a small service operation focused on the inland marine market, Devall Diesel Services today is a subsidiary of Southern Devall. In this part of the workboat businesses, relationships traditionally run deep and long, and Devall’s long-standing relationship with Cummins is a central plank to both its diesel service business, as well as in running the parent company’s fleet of more than 70 inland towboats, 90% of which are powered by Cummins. David Devall discusses the family business history and evolution, as well as the importance of the relationship with Cummins, with Maritime Reporter TV in New Orleans.
