Marystown - Shipyard

Shipyard

The shipyard consists of two essentially independent facilities, namely the older Marystown portion (built in 1967) and the newer Cow Head facility (built in 1992).

First opening in 1967, Marystown's shipyard existed as the backbone of the economy up until the early 1990s, when the yard was privatized by the provincial government. Today the shipyard is seeing renewed interest as the current owner, Peter Kiewit and Sons, strives to secure contracts for the facility.
