Bollinger Shipyards in Louisiana has secured a major defense contract to build six Arctic Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard, strengthening both the state’s manufacturing industry and national security efforts. According to a Louisiana Economic Development release, Governor Jeff Landry and Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois commended the company for its role in advancing the state’s industrial capabilities.
The contract highlights the federal government’s ongoing support for domestic defense manufacturing and reflects the administration’s focus on Arctic security. Bollinger’s work is expected to generate new jobs, strengthen local supply chains, and contribute to workforce development across Louisiana.
Landry and Bourgeois noted that Bollinger’s long-standing expertise in shipbuilding has positioned the company as a key contributor to national defense. The Arctic Security Cutters will enhance U.S. capabilities in polar operations, marking a significant investment in both regional industry and national readiness.
