Four generations of Bollingers have been challenged to match the innovation, integrity and deep sense of responsi- bility that have become synonymous with the Bollinger way of doing business. Bollinger Shipyards specializes in new construction, steel fabrication, vessel repair and conversion of a wide variety of U.S. Coast Guard and military vessels and commercial offshore and inland vessels. Bollinger cur- rently operates ten shipyards, strategically located through- out South Louisiana and Texas with unrestricted access to the central Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River. The Case: With 28 dry docks ranging in capacity from 400 tons to 10,000 tons, Bollinger Shipyards provides a wide variety of dry-dock, repair and conversion services for both shal- low and deepwater vessels and rigs. Boasting a long-estab- lished reputation of integrity in the shipbuilding industry; its reputation emanates from the success of a management team that fosters and creates a workforce dedicated to the principles of continuous improvement. Bollinger’s Execu- tive Group plays an integral role in maintaining a product development and service organization that is able to rap- idly respond to the ever-changing technical requirements of myriad customers. Safety is also a top priority for Bollinger. Recently, Bollinger’s Lockport New Construction facility worked 3,000,000 man-hours without a lost time accident. Building on a philosophy that starts at the top while em- powering all employees to demand safe production, Bol- linger Shipyards strives for zero accidents. And, in February, Bollinger Shipyards, Inc. was notifi ed by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) that Bollinger was one of three com- panies selected for award of Phase I for the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) program. The company has attained ISO 9001 certifi ed status and consistently demonstrates its abil- ity to deliver on time a wide range of reliable, quality-built vessels, making Bollinger Shipyards, the “First to Call.” The Product Line: Bollinger provides a complete array of marine services, with a myriad of products and services such as dry-docks, new construction, emergency repair, propeller repair, ma- chine shops, armature services, fabrication and numerous other support items.
