How Bethlehem makes fast turnarounds happen... 1) We want to get your ship out of our yards as quickly as possible— not only to make the pier or dock available to other ships who need our services, but also to keep you happy with our working speed so you'll come back again. 2) Each of our yards stocks the material and maintains the equipment and shop facilities needed to completely service nearly every ship we dock. What we don't have in stock we can normally secure in short order from nearby suppliers. 3) Planning begins the moment we learn a job is coming in. Often, the needed repair parts and materials are waiting on the dock when your ship arrives. Required manpower is scheduled to be on hand.

Our shops are alerted so they'll have the proper materials and open machine time as soon as the work is detailed. 4) Our yards are well lighted because our crews often work full force on a repair job 'round the clock, with scarcely a pause for dinner. 5) We take every precaution to make certain that every feature of our repair work is as good or better than the if^^f contract specifies. ^SsslW''
