November proved to be a record- setting month for Conrad Shipyard as the company signed new construction contracts with three repeat customers. The new contracts consist of multiple oceangoing tank barges and tugs.
Johnny Conrad, Conrad Shipyard president and CEO, discussed the signifi- cance of the record setting achievement. “The fact that these contracts came from three long-term Conrad customers says volumes about our service, the quality of our work, and the exceptional shipbuild- ing teams that manufacture these ves- sels,” he said. “We know that the Conrad way of doing business through quality, craftsmanship, integrity and service is key to our continued success.”
Conrad Shipyard was founded in 1948. The shipyard has four ship-manufactur- ing facilities in Morgan City and Amelia, La., and one in Orange, Texas.
Conrad builds a wide variety of vessels including pushboats, tugs, offshore sup- ply vessels, tank barges, LNG transport barges, ferries, ATBs, construction barg- es and specialty vessels.
Parker Conrad, the shipyard’s founder, celebrated his 100th birthday in October. The standards he set for our company have served us well.
