Know all by these presents, that the undersigned (the "Reporting Person") hereby constitutes and appoints each
of Kerry J. Chauvin, Joseph P. Gallagher, and Robin A. Seibert, signing individually, as the Reporting Person's
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

       (1)	execute for and on behalf of the Reporting Person, in the Reporting Person's capacity as an
officer or director of Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

	(2)	execute for and on behalf of the Reporting Person, in the Reporting Person's capacity as a
security holder of the Company selling securities of the Company in accordance with Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933,  a Form 144;

       (3)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the Reporting Person that may be necessary
or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4, 5 or 144 and timely file such form with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

       (4)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing which, in the
opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, and in the best interest of, or legally required by, the
Reporting Person, it being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such items and
conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

The Reporting Person hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform
any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the
rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the Reporting Person might or could do
if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by the
virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted. The Reporting Person acknowledges
that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the Reporting Person, are not
assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the Reporting Person's responsibilities to comply with Section
16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the Reporting Person is no longer required to
file Forms 3, 4, 5 or 144 with respect to the Reporting Person's holdings of and transactions in securities issued
by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the Reporting Person in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Reporting Person has caused this Power of Attorney to be executed this 3rd day
of August, 2007.
