In Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin ? nd ‘The Best Kept Secret in Shipbuilding’
By Greg Trauthwein
In 2009, Italian shipbuilding giant Fincantieri S.p.A, purchased the assets of the Manitowoc
Marine Group; which included Bay Shipbuilding Company. Located in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., Bay
Shipbuilding was the “feather in the cap” with their long history in U.S. commercial shipbuilding and repair. Maritime Reporter & Engineering News recently visited the shipyard and found an en- viable level of new builds and repair activity; which gave us a better understanding why the yard is dubbed the “best kept secret in shipbuilding.” www.marinelink.com 65
