North American Shipbuilding, Larose LA

[including North American Fabricators (Houma LA), Gulf Ship (Gulfport MS), Tampa Ship (Tampa FL) and NavShip (Navegantes, Brazil)]

Most recent update: September 11, 2011.

North American Shipbuilding (NAS) is wholly owned by Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) and almost all the boats built by NAS have been for ECO or one of ECO's associated companies.  The shipyard in Larose was started in 1974.  Visit the company at www.chouest.com.  Chouest added a second yard, North American Fabricators, (NAF), in Houma, in 1996, which also builds OSVs, a third yard, Estaleiro NavShip, in Brazil, in 2005, which also builds OSVs, a fourth yard, Gulf Ship, in Gulfport MS, in 2007, which is building tractor tugs, and a fifth yard, Tampa Ship, the former Tampa Bay Shipbuilding, in 2008.  Chouest is now planning a sixth yard, in Houma, to be called Louisiana Ship, which is reported to be going to have the capability of building much larger vessels.  In the table below, the boats built in Houma have an H after their hull numbers, the boats built in Gulfport have a G and those built in Tampa a T.  See the Larose yard from the air on Google here, the Houma yard here and the Gulfport yard here, but the last picture was taken when all they had done was clear the ground. Visit the Tampa yard here.
