The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration awarded Stabbert Marine & Industrial, LLC $228,745 under the Assistance to Small Shipyards federal grant program (CFDA 20.814) to support the purchase of heavy equipment for ship construction and repair. Funding will allow SMI to acquire an 8-ton heavy-duty forklift, articulated boom lift, automated welding equipment, hydraulic top bender, two Lincoln S350 aluminum welders, and a 400 amp TIG welder. These capital improvements to SMI's equipment fleet will help increase the efficiency, cost-effectiveness and quality of domestic ship construction services offered at their Seattle, Washington facility through 2023. The Assistance to Small Shipyards program aims to support infrastructure upgrades at qualified shipyards to facilitate competitive domestic shipbuilding.
