experienced and specialized team (including the Thruster

OEM), safe and easy-access worksites adjacent to the SSR shipyard and provides access to a Well equipped deepwater rig yard with dedicated shop for thruster work and space for storage of owner furnished equipment. In addition,

SSR touts its easy access to the key Gulf of Mexico loca- tions for its offshore oil & gas support clients.

Well into 2014, SSR, like many other Gulf Coast yards, remains busy and its backlog promises more of the same for the immediate future. In March they announced their in- tention to add 150 employees at its Mobile, AL location to accommodate another high profi le drydocking operation; this time for a 615 foot Military Sealift Command vessel.

Versatility for a wide range of vessels, therefore, remains the

Hallmark of Signal Ship Repair’s many strengths. The prac- ticed technique of high blocking of special mission oil & gas support vessels is just one of those strengths. Then again, it may well be its most valuable resource for the competitive, red-hot Gulf of Mexico offshore sector. For operators look- ing for just one more edge when it comes to staying on sta- tion for as long as possible, Signal’s got that niche covered. www.signalint.com
