The Creole Queen is the 10th diesel electric vessel built by Hal- ter Marine since 1978. Company officials say Halter has built more diesel electric workboats than any other U.S. shipyard. Halter owns and operates six shipyards in the

Southeastern United States and has designed and built over 1,100 vessels since its founding in 1956.
