Quick lift: 40 min., 23 sec.

The tanker Joseph D. Potts is big all over: 811 feet long, wide as a 10-lane highway, drawing 43 feet fully loaded.

She calls for king-size drydock facilities — so her owners (Mathiason Tankers

Industries Inc.) brought her to Todd's

Alameda yard for painting and repair.

There Todd's new mobile ship repair facility (MRV No. 1) lifted the huge tanker—one of the biggest on the Pacific

Coast—in a shade over 40 minutes. Another demonstration that Todd has what it takes to do the big jobs quickly and efficiently.
