摘要：	Eymard Marine Construction & Repair Inc. recently completed a 1,500 hp. towboat that was a long time in the making. Named the mv. Caleb J. Eymard, it was constructed for the firm's sister company, Eymard Brothers Towing Company Inc. What is notable is the fact that the Harvey, La., shipyard did not complete the towboat until a full five years after starting to work on it, which goes to show just how busy the yard was during that time. It remains so today. The hull was laid in 2015. The boat was completed November 30, 2020. The Caleb J. Eymard is the third vessel with that name. The first and second were built in 2006 and 2012 but were subsequently sold and renamed. "We've been trying to use the name in our fleet for a number of years, but, you know, we just haven't been able to say no to a buyer," said Lisa Eymard, chief financial officer. The current Caleb J. Eymard began as a project boat that the shipyard worked on in its spare time, something that was in short supply during the 2015-2020 stretch. Eymard built 25 or so boats in that period, about five per year, and recently had to lease neighboring acreage to accommo- date its increased productivity.
