VT Halter Marine, Inc. is a shipbuilding company and a subsidiary of VT Systems, the American subsidiary of ST Engineering. It is located in Pascagoula, Mississippi. It specializes in ship design, construction, and repair, and serves both public and private clients, including the United States Department of Defense.

History

After it was awarded an $87 million contract by the United States Navy to build a 350-foot ship in 2009, VT Halter sent workers into conditions that it knew to be unsafe. An explosion killed two and injured five others.[2] It was fined $1.32 million by the United States Department of Labor for 17 willful and 11 serious violations, including willfully exposing workers to toxic fumes in a confined space.[3] According to Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis, the explosion "was a horrific and preventable situation. [VT Halter Marine] was aware of the hazards and knowingly and willfully sent workers into a confined space with an explosive and toxic atmosphere."[3]
