March 27, 2025 – Vicksburg Shipyard is establishing vessel repair and maintenance operations in Vicksburg. The project represents a $26 million corporate investment over the next five years and is expected to create at least 44 jobs in Warren County.

A subsidiary of Louisiana-based Terral RiverService, Vicksburg Shipyard is purchasing assets and land at the Port of Vicksburg. Vicksburg Shipyard will service most of Terral RiverService’s 42 boats and more than 200 barges, as well as service many other maritime companies’ boats and barges that may have previously gone out of state for repairs and maintenance.

Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. The Vicksburg Warren Economic Development Partnership also is providing assistance for the project. 

Vicksburg Shipyard plans to begin operations immediately.
