The Bollinger family decides to sell shipyard right after Mary Landrieu loses office. Coincidence?

Absolutely no coincidence whatsoever. Hopefully they rename the shipyard too to rid itself of the horrible reputation it justly received from those ships they built for the Coast Guard that made Sunfish sailboats look seaworthy.

Not related at all, that deal has been in the pipe for a long time.

Speaking of, they've got BIG problems with FedGov over claims they falsified data during contract performance (specifically with the structural integrity of said boats). They had the case dismissed but the 5th Circuit reversed the dismissal.

Boysie gets mentioned by name as someone who may have falsified the data himself.
