CTCO Shipbuilding

Houma LA

Most recent update: January 17, 2021.

In addition to being a major customer of multiple Gulf Coast shipbuilders, Cenac Towing has also built boats and barges in its own shipyards. They started Cenac Shipyard in Houma in 1972 and closed it in 1982, when the industry turned down. Then when the recovery began in 1991, they reopened it as CTCO Shipbuilding. It has not built anything since 2004, but it's still active as a maintenance facility. See the yard. which is at 141 Bayou Dularge Road, here. They recently opened another yard in Demopolis AL - see it here - but its output has been minimal.
