Gulf Island Fabrication receives RCRV contract modification

Gulf Island Fabrication has received a contract modification for the construction of an additional Regional-class research vessel for Oregon State University.

The first vessel was awarded in July of 2017, and included options for two additional vessels.

These vessels will be ABS Ice-Class C0 and DPS-1, Green Marine-Certified, acoustically quiet, and will carry up to 29 crew and embarked scientists per vessel.

Revenue and man-hour backlog associated with this award will be included in the company’s second quarter report.
