Metal Shark finding its groove

When several work-boat builders are feeling the pains an offshore malaise, and over-supplied inland market that doesn’t need big numbers of barges, Louisiana-based Metal Shark’s shipyards have found a groove in an active and competitive niche market. By the end of 2018, the Jeanerette-base company’s military vessels will be in service or production for about 50 countries and continents, including Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Middle East, and Latin America. The last 18 months have been especially busy with Metal Shark delivering boats to more than 12 countries. (Sourced: Work Boat 06/20/18)
