Moss Point Marine, Escatawpa MS

(now VT Halter Marine)

Most recent update: July 17, 2010.

Moss Point Marine was John Dane's shipyard, established in 1978.  He sold it to Trinity in 1987 when it became difficult for a small, privately owned, shipyard to obtain performance bonds.  With Trinity as parent, the yard moved into government contracts and was particularly successful at completing contracts that had been terminated elsewhere.  The C-series of hull numbers are MPM's own contracts: the T-series was used for contracts terminated and transferred.  MPM was spun off by Trinity in 1996 as part of Halter Marine Group.  In July 2002, it was one of the six remaining Halter shipyards that were acquired by Singapore Technologies from the bankruptcy of Friede Goldman Halter.  Visit the new company at www.vthm.com.
