Established in 1988, Corn Island Shipyard has quietly become the premier builder of custom barges and specialized marine structures. Since the launch of our first barge in 1991, CIS has aspired to offer durable, high-quality products at a reasonable cost. We have achieved this goal by producing our vessels with a high degree of automation, employing a highly skilled workforce, and offering in-house design and engineering utilizing state-of-the-industry 2D and 3D design programs.

CIS has produced custom marine vessels for customers on the East coast, West coast, Gulf coast, Great Lakes, and most states on the inland waterway system.

Corn Island Shipyard specializes in the manufacture of custom designed products for both ocean service and inland waterway service. We produce vessels that are classed ABS as well as unclassed vessels based upon our customers’ requirements.

We currently have the capacity to build vessels up to 600 feet in length and 108 feet in width.

Our mission is to be the leading shipyard in the United States, dedicated to delivering top-quality vessels with an unwavering focus on safety, craftsmanship, and innovation. We are committed to completing every project on time and within budget, ensuring the highest standards of reliability and efficiency.
