Halter Equitable

New Orleans LA

This yard was originally developed as the main Higgins Industries facility: it closed in 1963. Equitable Equipment bought it in 1966 and renamed it Equitable Shipyards, with their Madisonville yard concentrating on barge building. Trinity Industries acquired Equitable in 1972 and both yards continued in operation until 1996, when Trinity spun off the New Orleans yard as part of Halter Marine Group. Halter closed it in 2000, stripped it of all its equipment and sold the lease on the property to an investment group led by John Dane. The yard was located on the west side of the Industrial Canal, just north of I-10. See also the tables for Higgins Industries, for Equitable Equipment and for Trinity Madisonville.
