A modernization project is underway for the historic Galveston shipyard. Gulf Copper and Davie Defense are leading the effort, which will bring significant changes to the site. The project is expected to include new facilities and equipment, such as enclosed production areas and heavy-lift cranes.

The shipyard has a long history, with operations dating back to 1906. The upcoming modernization will also introduce automated steel fabrication and new waterfront infrastructure.

Further details about the project can be found in the Galveston County Daily News, which reported on the plans by Gulf Copper and Davie Defense to transform the shipyard.
