Tampa Ship, LLC, Tampa FL

Tampa Ship was formed in late 2008 as the successor to Tampa Bay Shipbuilding & Repair, following the sale of that company's assets to the Chouest family.  Tampa Bay had been formed in 1997, following the bankruptcy of George Steinbrenner's Tampa Shipyards, Inc., the last remnant of the once-great American Ship Building Company, and then also of its short-lived successor, Tampa Shipbuilding.  The shipyard is primarily a repair facility, with four graving docks, but has much more fabrication capability than most repair yards.  It recently began to build tank barges and Chouest plans to use it to build large OSVs.  Visit the shipyard at www.tampabayship.com and see an aerial view on Google here.
