Collaborative Design & Vessel Fabrication
From contracts to working plans to fabrication, building a ship is a collaborative effort. Our skilled team has decades of experience working together to meet our clients’ needs. Each vessel we build requires careful timetable planning in order to allocate every necessary resource so that we can meet our deadlines. Not only will we consult with our clients, but we are also well-versed in all applicable safety standards and regulations. You can be confident that Thoma-Sea will provide you with a seaworthy vessel exactly when you need it.
Modern Shipbuilding in Louisiana
Before the advent of welding, ships were typically built on building berths. Now, however, we are able to construct large portions of the ship separately—for example, the bow or the stern—and assemble them at the building berth later. Thanks to dry-docking and our fabrication facilities, we’re able to perform shipbuilding tasks completely under cover. Our Houma Facility Launches the vessels via one of our dry docks. While the Lockport Facility utilizes the traditional side launch.
Thoma-Sea has multiple state-of-the-art facilities that allow us to simultaneously serve multiple clients. After our ships are built, they’re carefully tested and inspected before delivery. This guarantees you the highest quality product at our competitive rates.
