North American Shipbuilding

Larose La, Houma La, Gulfport Ms, Tampa FL

Most recent update: December 31, 2021.

North American Shipbuilding (NAS) is wholly owned by Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) and almost all the boats built by NAS have been for ECO or one of ECO's associated companies. Visit the company at chouest.com. The shipyard in Larose was started in 1974. Chouest added North American Fabricators, (NAF), in Houma, in 1996, Estaleiro NavShip, in Brazil, in 2005, Gulf Ship, in Gulfport MS, in 2007, Tampa Ship, the former Tampa Bay Shipbuilding, in 2008, and La Ship, in Houma, in 2011. This latest addition, La Ship, has now absorbed NAF. See the Larose yard from the air on Google here. Find the Tampa yard's table of previous experience here.
