Ship and Boat Building and Repair

Establishments primarily engaged in building and repairing ships, barges, and lighters, whether self-propelled or towed by other craft. This industry also includes the conversion and alteration of ships and the manufacture of offshore oil and gas well drilling and production platforms, whether or not self-propelled. Establishments primarily engaged in fabricating structural assemblies or components for ships, or subcontractors engaged in ship painting, joinery, carpentry work, and electrical wiring installation, are classified in other industries. Sample business functions include building and repairing barges, cargo vessels, combat ships, crew boats, dredges, floating oil and gas drilling and production platforms, floating drydocks, ferryboats, fireboats, and large fishing vessels such as seiners and trawlers.

Establishments primarily engaged in building and repairing boats, excluding those primarily engaged in manufacturing rubber and nonrigid plastic boats. Sample business functions include boat kits (not models), fiberglass boats, rigid plastic boats, motorboats, sailboats, rowboats, canoes, dinghies, dories, small fishing boats, houseboats, and hydrofoil boats, all involving building and repairing.
