Bollinger Shipyards

Last week, Bollinger Shipyards had the privilege of paying tribute to two American heroes, Vincent Danz and Jeffrey Palazzo. Both men were U.S. Coast Guard reservists who were also New York City Police Department (NYPD) and New York City Fire Department (FDNY) members who tragically lost their lives attempting to save persons trapped in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Two pieces of recovered steel from the World Trade Center were escorted from NY/NJ and arrived at our Lockport yard aboard the "Spirit of Louisiana". These sacred artifacts will be incorporated as centerpieces on USCG Fast Response Cutters currently under construction. Standing alongside state and local law enforcement, Chief Bryan J. Adams, USCG Rear Admiral Dave Barata, Coast Guard District 8 Commander, and others, we reflected on their bravery and ultimate sacrifice. Their legacy will live on forever. Their courage will never be forgotten. #NeverForget #AmericanHeroes Louisiana Office of State Fire Marshal Louisiana State Police The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey Lafourche Parish Government Thibodaux Police Department

Bollinger Shipyards is proud to strengthen our 40-year partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard with the announcement of a $951 million contract modification for the Polar Security Cutter (PSC) Program. This critical investment allows us to advance the construction phase, underscoring Bollinger’s integral role in strengthening America’s maritime presence and operational capabilities in the Arctic. Additionally, the contract modification ensures Bollinger continues to provide our workforce with industry-leading wages throughout the life of the PSC program. Since entering Mississippi in 2022, we have increased our workforce by over 61%, with production roles at Bollinger Mississippi Shipbuilding alone nearly tripling. These numbers are expected to continue rising as the program reaches full production over the coming years. A key driver of this growth has been our innovative Bootcamp workforce development programs, which continue to strengthen the skilled labor pipeline. Bollinger will continue to invest heavily in Mississippi to modernize and expand our capabilities, building upon our $76 million investment across our facilities in the state since 2022..

For nearly 80 years, Bollinger Shipyards has been synonymous with excellence. From cutting-edge commercial vessels that drive America’s energy independence and power inland commerce, to more than 40 years of building highly capable vessels for the U.S. Armed Forces, our legacy is built on trust, innovation, and quality. Whether it’s a dry dock, an autonomous drone ship recovering rockets from space, an icebreaker, an offshore supply vessel, a towboat, or commercial repair work—no job is too big or too small when it comes to strengthening America’s presence from the Mighty Mississippi to the Indo Pacific to the Arctic. It’s an honor to be trusted with protecting our nation—its people and its economic security. We’re not just building ships. We’re building the future. #BuildtheBest #USShipbuilding #MaritimeInnovation
