ST Manhattan can now drydock only a skip-and-a-jump from Broadway

The 15-year-old, Bethlehem-Built Manhattan, still proud of her early years when she plied her routes as the largest-ever American-flag tanker,* was up for her annual drydocking and voyage repairs. We were glad to welcome her aboard our new facility for a quick turnaround. *Her 106,000-dwt size was first eclipsed when

Bethlehem's Sparrows Point Yard delivered the 120,000-dwt Arco Anchorage in 1973.

Bethlehem's Hoboken Yard has brought back into operation the largest drydock in New York Harbor— and one of the largest in the United States. It's the former Navy graving dock at the Bayonne Military

Ocean Terminal in Upper New York Bay, just four miles from Manhattan Island. And it's large enough to accommodate the big tanker, ST Manhattan, with room to spare: 1,082 x 138-ft wide, vs the vessel's 940 ft x 132-ft beam.
