From Area Development Magazine:
“We believe Vicksburg Shipyard will not only help Terral RiverService operate more efficiently but will help many of the towing companies and barge lines operating in and around Mississippi and along the Mississippi River. Bringing jobs to the communities we live and operate in has always been a focus of Terral RiverService, and we look to continue that with the growth of Vicksburg Shipyard.” […]
“Mississippi’s integrated transportation network, including our navigable waterways, is crucial to ensuring companies efficiently get goods to domestic and international markets in record time. Vicksburg Shipyard’s new location at the Port of Vicksburg further facilitates the timely delivery of products to consumers as hundreds of vessels will be maintained right here at home and fit for service that much quicker. Our blue economy is one of the top in the country, and MDA is proud to welcome Vicksburg Shipyard as its newest addition.”
