A local shipmaker welcomed a new drydock this week – an addition the company believes will strongly boost its future.

Bolinger Shipyards, based out of Lockport, announced the arrival of the drydock ‘Mrs. Jody’, which will be positioned at the company’s Algiers location.


Bollinger CEO and President Ben Bordelon said the drydock will help the company serve its customers now and into the future.

“We are very pleased to announce the arrival of the ‘Mrs. Jody’ at Bollinger Algiers,” Bordelon said. “This drydock will position us well in the diverse customer markets that we serve and will further enhance our position in the market with lifting capacity needed by our customers.”

The ‘Mrs. Jody’ is 198-feet-by-76-feet between its wing walls, and it has a total lifting capacity of 4,000 tons.


The company said it has two commercial drydocks in Algiers with a combined lifting capacity of 5,800 tons.
