“Well, winning the polar security contract is a tremendous opportunity for both VT Halter Marine and the local economy,” said Ronald Baszkowski, CEO of VT Halter Marine in Pascagoula. “It gives an opportunity at Halter Marine to transform itself, recapitalize our workforce, recapitalize our shipbuilding.”
This is a $745 million contract with the U.S. Coast Guard that is allowing VT Halter to expand its Pascagoula shipyard and add 900 employees, and they will be building a ship like none other.
