Halter Marine ~ Shipbuilding History

Halter Marine

Pascagoula, Moss Point and Escatawpa MS

Most recent update: October 3, 2021.

After the bankruptcy in 2002 of Friede Goldman Halter, VT Halter Marine, (VTHM), was created as a wholly owned subsidiary of ST Engineering, Singapore's largest defense contractor, to be the parent company of the six remaining Halter shipyards. The new company sold off Halter's Gulfport, Lockport and Port Bienville shipyards, and relocated the company's headquarters from Gulfport to Pascagoula. In 2016, they installed a new Panamax floating dry dock at the south end of the Pascagoula yard and expanded into the ship repair business. Then, in 2017, they acquired the former FGO Pascagoula yard, which occupied the balance of the west side of Bayou Cosotte, and expanded into the rig market. Most recently, they have dropped the initial letters VT and reverted to being Halter Marine, with a new logo. In this connection, the Moss Point yard - see it here. Note that the table below covers only those projects completed since VTHM took over from Halter: the hull numbers continue Halter's series. To see the pre-VTHM construction records of the individual shipyards, go to Pascagoula, Moss Point, Moss Point Marine and FGO Pascagoula.
