Bender Shipbuilding, Signal Ship Repair

Bender Shipbuilding, Signal Ship Repair, Mobile AL

Bender Welding & Machine Co., Inc., was originally established in 1928 and was primarily a builder of fishing boats until that market died. Around 1980, it changed its name to Bender Shipbuilding & Repair Co., Inc., upgraded its facilities and became a major player in the OSV market, but it had a very uneven record of success and folded in 2010. Most of its assets were then acquired by Signal International, which renamed it Signal Ship Repair, but sold it in 2018 to World Marine of Alabama. See the yard from the air on Google here: in this view, World Marine is the yard on the left, downtown, side of the Mobile River. In the table below, the ships are listed first by year of delivery and then by Official Number. Bender's hull numbering system is very strange: there are obviously gaps in the table below but it is not clear which represent ships built and which represent other types of activity. If anyone can add to the table below, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
