Expansion, more jobs announced at shipyard in Mobile County
BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. (WALA) – The Mobile Chamber says Birdon has announced a $37.55 Million expansion at its Bayou La Batre shipyard.
The chamber says the project on Shell Belt Road is expected to create 136 new jobs phased in over the next three years.
It says the expansion will bring Birdon’s total workforce at the facility to more than 200 employees.
The chamber says the expansion follows Birdon’s acquisition of the Bayou La Batre shipyard on March 1, 2024, as part of its efforts to support the United States Coast Guard with the next generation of Inland Buoy Tenders, known as Waterways Commerce Cutters (WCC).
It says Birdon was awarded a $1.187 billion contract in 2022 to design and build 27 WCCs over a 10-year period.
