Halter Marine, an ST Engineering North America company, based in Pascagoula, Miss., was awarded a contract option for the Navy’s fifth Auxiliary Personnel Lighter–Small (APL(S)) 67 Class berthing and messing barge. APLs are used by the Navy to house crews when ships are in port. The $41M award is a firm, fixed-price option for the detailed design and construction of the vessel. Construction is expected to start in this month. Halter Marine secured the initial contract to design and build two units, in September 2018, with options for four more.
