Why cable sits here 02
The Houma industrial base
Terrebonne Parish's economy is offshore oil and gas service, and Houma is its fabrication and shipbuilding centre. Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors builds and repairs tugs, platform supply vessels and research ships at Port of Terrebonne yards, and Gulf Island runs a 450,000-square-foot fabrication campus on 160 acres.
That mix produces marine cable, welding lead, medium voltage feeder for yard substations and temporary power cable for newbuilds. Much of it is tagged when it arrives and still tagged when it is left over.

Questions —
Houma wire buying questions
Do you buy marine cable from Houma yards?
Yes, where the marine approvals are printed. Cable without that print is industrial cable and is reviewed on that basis.
Is welding lead the biggest item in a yard lot?
Often, by volume. It is read on jacket condition and measured length, and unused reels are kept separate from working leads.
Can fabrication-yard cable be collected at the yard?
Yes, with the yard's own lift plan and gate procedure. Large reels in a fabrication yard are a rigging job, not a hand carry.
What about material from a completed hull?
Cut lengths from a newbuild are reviewed as a separate lot. They are useful when measured and identified, and they are not priced as full reels.
