Patti Shipyards: Builder

From The Beginning

Patti Shipyard, Inc. of Pensacola,

Fla. was organized in 1977 to build steel vessels for the family seafood business that was founded in 1935.

Since that time Patti has delivered 46 vessels, ranging from 60 to 447 ft. (18.3 m to 136.2 m) in length. All vessels are constructed to either ABS or USCG standards, incorporating modern advancements in technol- ogy and design. Vessel types have evolved from the early fishing ves- sels to tugboats, Corps of Engineers vessels, dinner-excursion vessels, vehicle ferries, and more recently, gaming vessels.

Patti Shipyard was proud to be the first shipyard in America to de- liver a riverboat gaming vessel on the Mississippi. The Dubuque Ca- sino Belle, now the Casino St.

Charles, was delivered in April 1991, placing Patti at the forefront of the gaming vessel boom. Patti has not looked back since, delivering the largest gaming vessel on the river, the Casino Queen, in June 1993.

The Queen weighs in at 7.1 million lbs. fully loaded and is a tug/barge combination, similar to its prede- cessor.

Each of these vessels, as well as all other Patti vessels, were built priced well below the "going rate."

More outstanding is the fact that they were built for the price that they were bid for.

Patti Shipyard operates with an average "core" crew of 60-70 indi- viduals. Its facilities include a large construction bay, a blasting shed, building ways with three railroad tracks for launching and a fabrica- tion shop outfitted with up-to-date tools and equipment. Patti also of- fers in-house design with complete

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and visualization capabilities.
