KEPPEL AMFELS

Brownsville TX

Most recent update: December 26, 2020.
Keppel AMFELS was originally established in 1971 by Marathon Manufacturing, to supplement the capacity of its Vicksburg facility: it was renamed Marathon LeTourneau in 1975 when Marathon teamed up with LeTourneau Engineering.  After the collapse of the offshore market in the mid-1980s, the yard was sold to local investors called Allison/McDermid, but when the market picked up again in 1991, Keppel FELS bought it and renamed it AMFELS, the AM standing for the previous owners, but they changed it to Keppel AmFELS in 2004, the Am standing for American.  Visit the company at www.keppelfels.com.sg and see an aerial view of the yard on Google here.  Note that LeTourneau had a single series of hull numbers regardless of where a rig was built: the list below is believed to be complete, despite the many breaks in the numbering.  See the LeTourneau table for the full list.
