Gulf Coast Fabrication

Pearlington MS

Most recent update: August 26, 2014.

Gulf Coast Fabrication was a builder of large barges, originally located in Pass Christian MS, but later relocated to the Port Bienville Industrial Park, in Pearlington MS. It was bought by Trinity Marine in 1994 and spun off as part of Halter Marine Group in 1996. In July 2002, it was one of the six remaining Halter shipyards that were acquired by Singapore Technologies from the estate of Friede Goldman Halter, but was resold in 2004 to Coastal Mining & Marine. The yard has since been razed. See the site from the air on Google here.
