Trinity Industries


Trinity Industries spun off its "blue water" shipyards in 1997 as Halter Marine Group.  It retained its "brown water" shipyards as its Marine Products Division.  This group of yards has since been pared down to just four operations and is now described as its Inland Barge Group.  Trinity's fiscal year ended on March 31 until 2001, when it was changed to December 31.  In the table below, the column headed 2001 A presents the data for the twelve months ending March 31, while the column headed 2001 B presents the data for the nine months from April 1, through December 31, 2001.
