Weathers Economic Storm

The maritime industry, both na- tionwide as well as internationally, has experienced many economic changes in recent years.

For some which could not change or adjust, this fate meant closure.

But Todd Pacific Shipyards, located in Seattle since 1916, has faced the challenges of consolidation and re- mains solvent.

Todd Pacific Shipyards recently completed the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization of eight high en- durance Coast Guard vessels and currently has an ongoing Phased

Maintenance contract with the

United States Navy for two combat support ships (AOEs) until 1995.

Todd Pacific Shipyard is a full service shipyard with three drydocks, the largest being an 873- foot 40,000-ton capacity dock, which can handle maintenance require- ments for almost all vessels.

This year in particular has seen the shipyard receive a whirlwind of business in its repair and overhaul segment, in particular with the fish- ing vessels, the American President

Line fleet, the Matson Line containerships, Totem Ocean Trailer

Express vessels, Washington State

Ferries and Exxon Tankers.

In addition, the Navy has also supplied a steady stream of repair and overhaul work.

Looking forward to 1993 and be- yond, Todd Pacific Shipyards will continue to seek new ship construc- tion opportunities on a worldwide basis, while continuing to expand its efforts on local and national lev- els in the ship repair and overhaul business.
