Signal to Repair Boomtown Barge
February 21, 2006
Signal International, a company known for its work in repairing and renovating offshore drilling rigs, will be repair the hull of the Boomtown Casino barge.
The barge, heavily damaged during Hurricane Katrina, was moved to Signal last week for hull repairs, according to information from Penn National Gaming, which owns the casino.
Company officials said they expect to have the barge's repairs completed and the casino back in operation by the end of this year.
The exact cost of the repairs were not released, but company spokesman Ron Schnoor said the hull repairs were estimated at less than $1 million.
