Construction & Repair Activity Up At Small And Medium Size Yards MARITIME REPORTER recently conducted a limited survey among key small and medium-size U.S. shipyards engaged primarily in the construction of shallow-draft ves- sels. Information received as of press time is presented here to show cur- rent levels and indicates activity is on the upswing. Tank, hopper and deck barges, towboats, tugs, oil spill recovery ves- sels, gambling boats, dinner/excur- sion boats, offshore supply vessels and crewboats account for most of the construction activity in the com- mercial sector. Patrol boats for the U.S. Navy, Army and Coast Guard and several foreign navies, as well as number of special projects for the Corps of En- gineers, account for a substantial portion of the government vessel construction projects.
