Senior leadership from the U.S. Coast Guard’s Surface Acquisitions and Contracting divisions visited Birdon America’s shipyard in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, this week as part of a Gulf Coast tour focused on the Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC) program.
Birdon acquired the 32-acre Bayou La Batre shipyard in 2024 from Metal Shark, saying then that the acquisition would ensure the successful delivery of the WCC program
The delegation included representatives from the Coast Guard Assistant Commandant – Surface, Program Executive Office – SEA, Surface Acquisition Programs and the Office of Contracting and Procurement. During the visit, the group received program updates, met with Birdon’s shipbuilders and leadership team, and toured the Bayou La Batre shipyard’s industrial facilities.
“This visit was a valuable opportunity to showcase the progress we’ve made and the strength of our relationship with the U.S. Coast Guard,” said Tony Ardito, president of Birdon America.
