LOCKPORT, La. - Bollinger Shipyards christened the ocean transport barge Holland for General Dynamics Electric Boat, of Groton, Conn. Holland will support construction and maintenance of the Navy's Columbia Class Ballistic Missile and Virginia Class fast attack submarines. Electric Boat is the prime contractor on the design and build of the Columbia class submarine, which will replace Ohio Class subs. Electric Boat selected Bollinger in November 2019 to construct the Holland, a 400-by-100-foot Ocean Transport Barge. Bollinger performed the detail design engineering at its Lockport facility. Construction was at Bollinger's Marine Fabrication facility in Amelia, La. (Source: Bollinger 07/12/21)
