Bollinger Shipyards yesterday held a ceremony at its Bollinger Marine Fabricators shipyard in Amelia, La., to lay the keel for the future R/S SpaceShip.
SpaceShip is being built for ULA (United Launch Alliance) to transport Vulcan rockets from the ULA factory in Decatur, Ala., to the launch sites at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The RO/RO ship is the second transport vessel in ULA’s maritime fleet.
