Bollinger Shipyards, a stalwart of Gulf Coast maritime construction, is retrofitting a 400-foot barge into a floating landing platform for Rocket Lab's Neutron reusable rockets. This project marks a significant crossover between traditional shipbuilding expertise and the burgeoning commercial spaceflight industry, positioning Rocket Lab against giants like SpaceX and Blue Origin. The converted vessel, 'Return on Investment,' will enable autonomous rocket landings at sea, aiming for service next year.
