Workboat Show Daily
It’s been busy, busy year for Conrad Shipyard.
Conrad’s Morgan City, La., Amelia, La., and Orange, Texas, facilities are scheduled to deliver a number of new barges and vessels by the end of the year. This includes tank barges, a refrigeration barge, an articulated tug-barge unit, construction barges, a keyway barge, a deck barge, LPG barges, a tow- boat, a liftboat and specialty vessels.
On the repair side, Conrad Deepwater, Conrad Aluminum and Conrad Orange have handled a wide variety of repairs and conversions including electrical, mechanical, hull repairs, and repowering. Conrad also refitted NASA’s Pegasus barge.
Conrad Shipyard President and CEO Johnny Conrad put the achievement in perspec- tive and paid tribute to the Conrad workforce.
“The amount of quality and innovative work turned out by Conrad Shipyard in 2015 is a testament to the dedication of the exceptional men and women of the Conrad ship- building teams,” he said. “We’ve built a culture here where craftsmanship is the standard and quality is the way that these very competitive people measure themselves. This is the finest shipbuilding team throughout the Gulf Coast.”
Conrad recently announced a record number of new construction contracts secured in November.
