Signal International, Orange TX and Pascagoula MS

Signal International was created in 2002, when its owners bought the assets of Friede Goldman Offshore out of the bankruptcy of Friede Goldman Halter.  These assets consisted of two shipyards in Pascagoula MS, which had previously been operated by Friede Goldman international, (formerly known as Ham Marine), and six shipyards in Orange, Port Arthur and Sabine Pass TX, which had previously been operated by TDI-Halter, (formerly Texas Drydock).  Signal's primary new construction shipyard is in Orange TX: this is the former WWII destroyer builder, Consolidated Steel.  Visit the shipyard at www.signalint.com and see an aerial view on Google of the Orange yard here and the Pascagoula yard here.
