Some good financial news for Fraser Shipyards. Congressman Tom Tiffany announced the company is receiving a $817,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The funding comes through the Small Shipyard Grant Program, which Tiffany has long supported.

The funding will help Fraser Shipyards purchase a Link-Belt 130-ton Telescopic Boom Rough Terrain Crane to enhance its operations.
