13. Tacoma Boatbuilding Co.!/

In operation since 1926 in Tacoma, WA, this shipyard has
designed, constructed, and repaired vessels for commercial
customers, the Navy and Coast Guard, and foreign governments.
Tacoma Boat’s overall facilities consist of 8 Hectares located on
the Hylebos Waterway adjacent to Commencement Bay.

Tacoma Boat has constructed a variety of standard-class
tuna purseiners, a semi-submersible offshore oil-drilling rig,
barges and tug/supply vessels for the offshore oil industry, WYTM
icebreaking tugs and WMEC cutters 82 meter long for the Coast
Guard, revolutionary-design tractor tugs, and high-speed patrol
ships, gunboats, and minesweepers for the Navy and/or foreign
governments. The company also helped design and build an 80 knot
surface effect ship (SES).

During the 1984 to mid-1991 period, Tacoma delivered 12
ocean surveillance ships (T-AGOS) to the U.S. Navy. This T-AGOS
contract was a focal point for zone outfitting in which various
portions or "zones" of a ship were built separately as virtually
complete units and then assembled at the launchway.

The company’s activity under present market conditions is
primarily in the area of ship repair on both commercial and
Government contracts and in it’s Northern Line Machine &
Propeller Division for deck equipment construction and repair and
propulsion system fabrication and repair.

Tacoma Boat’s facilities include two end-launch
construction ways, which can construct vessels up to 85 meters by
15 meters. Available for outfitting and repair work are 411
meters of berthing space.

The total work force at Tacoma Boat at mid-1992 was 60,
compared to 88 a year earlier.

+! Tacoma Boatbuilding filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of the state of Washington to
convert from Chapter 11 (reorganization) to Chapter 7
(liquidation).

12. Portland Ship Repair Yard

The Portland Ship Repair Yard is part of the Municipal
Corp. of the Port of Portland. The 57 hectare shipbuilding and
ship repair facility is located in Portland, OR, on the
Willamezte River. The yard was developed from the World War II
Swan Island Shipbuilding facilities which delivered 1,076
Oceangoing ships. Today's facility includes Dry Dock 4, one of
the largest dry dock in the Americas.

Projects in 1992 include corrective structural modifications
to a new, large cable ship; structural enhancements and tank
coating of four very large crude carriers; tandem drydocking of
two large fish processors; major upgrade and overhaul of a
worldwide cruise ship; and development of an on-site training
facility and program for welding, steel forming, sheet metal,
laborers, machinists, and painters.

The shipbuilding assets are augmented by the individual
facility users’ assets. Cascade General, Inc., Northwest Marine
Inc. ,+/ and West State, Inc., are contracted users of the
facility.

The shipbuilding facilities at the Portland Ship Repair
Yard are capable of producing modular-type units from 1,525 to
5,084 metric tons. Units are transported by rubber-tired
vehicles, crawler or walker, via a launching bridge to two
locations. At one ship construction location, a vessel 145
meters by 30 meters can be constructed using the Dry Dock 3 for
launching. At the other location, a vessel up to 247 meters by
33 meters can be constructed using the Dry Dock 3 and Dry Dock 4
for launching.

Portland Ship Repair Yard Operates three drydocks. The
largest two (No. 3 and No. 4) can accommodate vessels up to 247
meters by 33 meters, and 351 meters by 55 meters, respectively.

A total of 3,078 meters of fully serviced pier space with 16
whirley type cranes are employed for outfitting. In 1986, a new
layberth facility (Berth 315) was added which can accommodate two
335-meter VLCCs in lay-up status.

The yard has 46,500 Square meters of fully enclosed
service shops and warehouse Space. The 11 module assembly bays
are 98 meters long, 21 meters clear width, and 18 meters clear
height.

The Portland Ship Repair Yard is preparing to expand its
modular construction capability by an additional 14 hectares,
located in the Swan Island Lagoon. This facility will be
suitable for constructing ship modules.

As of mid-1992 the shipyard employed 2,157 persons, down
from 3,135 a year earlier.

+! Northwest Marine, Inc., went out of business in October 1992.

3. Bath Iron Works Corporation

Bath Iron Works Corp. (BIW), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Bath Holding Corp., is located on the Kennebec River in Bath, ME.
The small iron foundry which was established on this site in 1826
became Bath Iron Works, Ltd., in 1884, and the first shipbuilding
began in 1889. This yard has constructed various type of ships
including roll-on/roll-off cargo vessels, containerships,
tankers, dredges, barges, and fishing vessels. Bath also has
built 200 surface Navy combatants.

BIW was the lead shipbuilder for the Navy’s guided missile
frigate (FFG 7 Class) program and was awarded contracts for the
construction of the 24 FFG 7 Class frigates. In 1982, the Navy
selected BIW as its second source for the high-technology CG 47
Class AEGIS cruiser program, awarding the company contracts to
build eight of these TICONDEROGA Class cruisers - the last of
which is scheduled for delivery in 1993. In 1985, BIW was
selected as the lead shipbuilder for the design and construction
of the Navy’s DDG 51 Class guided missile destroyer program. The
lead ship, USS ARLEIGH BURKE was delivered in 1991. Eleven more
DDG’s have been ordered from BIW - the last is scheduled for
delivery in 1997.

BIW’s facilities include two shipways to accommodate ships
of 220 meters in length with a maximum beam of 39 meters, or two
ships per way with a beam of 16 meters each; and a 220 metric ton
level-luffing crane with sufficient outreach to erect units on
both shipways. The pre-outfit building, opened in 1987, is 61
meters by 125 meters and has 18 work stations for 219 metric ton
erection units. BIW also added a new 220 metric ton capacity
revolver crane to serve the third shipway. The shipway can
accommodate a ship 214 meters in length with a beam of 25 meters.
Two wharves and a pier provide a total of 655 meters.

BIW operates two support facilities in East Brunswick,
located 5 kilometers from the main plant. The 13 hectare
Hardings fabrication plant is where the initial steel fabrication
takes place. The 24 hectare East Brunswick facility is the
location of the 113,000 cubic meter consolidated warehouse which
uses state of the art equipment to-accomplish the transfer,
handling, and storage of shipbuilding inventory. A new 11,148
square meter pipe and sheet metal fabrication facility was added
in 1989.

BIW operates the Portland Overhaul and Repair Facility in
Portland, ME. This facility has a large floating drydock with a
lifting capacity of 65,000 metric tons, which can accommodate a
vessel up to 257 meters by 41 meters. This facility also
supports new construction programs as the site where sonar dome
installations and Post Shakedown Availabilities are performed.

As of mid-1992, the company employed a total of 9,960
compared to 10,805 a year earlier.

N 's T- PROG:

The Navy's T-ship program continued to be an important segment of ship
construction and conversion activity for U.S. shipyards. T-ships are
auxiliary vessels funded by the Navy budget but designed to be
civilian-manned and under the control of the Military Sealift Command.
Since mid-1979, 16 U.S. private shipyards have been awarded contracts
for the construction of 55 new ships and the conversion of 31 existing
vessels. The initial contract value for these vessels totalled almost
$5.8 billion.

During 1992, only one new T-ship contract was placed with U.S.
shipyards. Halter Marine, Inc., Moss Point, MS, received an order
with an initial contract value of $42.9 million to build one ocean
survey ship (T-AGS 62). This is a follow-on ship to the T-AGS 60 and
T-AGS 61.

During 1992, deliveries included a coastal hydrographic survey ship
(T-AGS 52) by Halter Marine, Inc., Moss Point, MS; one SWATH class
ocean surveillance ships (T-AGOS 20) by McDermott Shipyards, Morgan
City, LA; and two fleet oilers (T-AO 198 and T-AO 200) by

Avondale Industries, New Orleans, LA.

As of December 31, 1992, 14 T-ships were under -construction or on
order at four shipyards (Exhibit 27). The value of this orderbook is
approximately $1.1 billion.

15. Todd Pacific Shipyards Corp. - Seattle Division

Todd’s Seattle Division is located at the northwest corner
of Harbor Island in Elliot Bay, less than 10 minutes from
downtown Seattle, WA. From 1898 until 1916, when the William H.
Todd Co. of New York bought the shipyard from the Seattle
Construction and Drydock Co., a variety of vessels were Produced,
including the world’s finest six-masted barkentine and (at that
time) the world’s fastest single-screw steamer. This 21 hectares
yard has been a prime supplier of fighting ships for the Navy.
During World War II, Todd-Seattle constructed over 125 ships and
repaired and serviced some 2,700 deep draft vessels of all sizes,
types, and flags. Since 1952, the yard has built 80 vessels of
20 different types.

As of October 1, 1992, work in the yard included the
repair and overhaul of numerous factory trawlers, containerships,
barges and tugs. Also, ongoing is the phased maintenance work on
the USS CAMDEN and SACRAMENTO which provides a solid base for
Todd’s skilled labor force.

The largest building way at Todd-Seattle can handle a ship
up to 183 meters by 29 meters. It can also be used as a dual
launchway for simultaneous construction of two ships with beams
of 15 meters or less. A small side-launch building way is also
available. In addition to the 40,640 metric ton drydock, there
are two other floating drydocks, the larger of which can
accommodate ships up to 287 meters by 41 meters.

In July 1982, the company transferred a 40,640 metric ton
floating drydock from its San Francisco Division to Seattle. A
new 137 metric ton traveling whirley crane on the adjacent 305
meter concrete pier serves the floating drydock and the adjacent
berths. A second pier was rebuilt in concrete and lengthened to
give the yard a 427 meter berth with a 12 meter water depth.

Two wharves and five piers provide a total of 1,834 meters
of berthing space for outfitting and repair. The yard is
serviced by 15 whirley traveling cranes, with lifting capacities
ranging from 23 metric tons to 136 metric tons.

In mid-1992, total employment at the Seattle plant was
750, down from 1,278 at mid-1991.

Docks and Shipways - There are eight separate docking facilities.
Shipway 12, the largest building basin in the Nation, is 492
meters long, 76 meters wide, and 10 meters deep. Three positions
for the intermediate gate expand the tulti-ship construction
Capability of this dock, permitting simultaneous ship
construction and repair. A 900 metric ton gantry crane, one of
the largest in the world, can handle completely outfitted
assemblies. This crane has a height of 71 meters overall, a
girder. clearance of 61 meters and a span between rail centers of
165 meters. Shipways 10 and 11 are used for construction work,

ton gantry crane. The other four graving docks (Dry Docks 1-4)
are used mainly for ship repair and overhaul work. The floating
drydock, which is 195 meters by 43 meters, is primarily used as a
part of the submarine land level facility.

vi Berthi - Newport News has two outfitting berths totaling
799 meters each serviced by 30 metric ton cranes. There are four

with the submarine land level facility.

rine mstruction and Repair Complex - This land level
facility is currently being used for construction of nuclear
attack submarines. It includes a Modular Outfitting Facility
(MOF), outboard ways, two small piers, a transporter and transfer
system, and a floating drydock.

The labor force at Newport News in mid-1992 was about
24,500, compared to 27,000 a year earlier.

8. Marinette Marine Corp.

Marinette Marine Corp. (MMC) is a privately-owned Great
Lakes shipbuilding company founded during the early months of
World War II and located in northeast WI. During the past 50
years, the yard has built nearly 1,300 vessels, including harbor
tugs, research vessels, torpedo weapon retrievers, minehunters
and yard patrol craft.

As of October 1, 1992, MMC was engaged in the construction
of a dredge pontoon system for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In addition, Marinette Marine is one of the three finalist
shipyards in the competition to provide oceangoing buoy tenders
(WLB) to the U.S. Coast Guard. Contract award is expected to
occur in early 1993. MMC, earlier in 1992, performed topside
repair work on the Coast Guard icebreaker Mackinaw and
miscellaneous steel fabrication work for various customers.

The shipyard covers 23 hectares and has over 134,146
square meters of enclosed workspace permitting year-round,
uninterrupted construction of vessels up to 122 meters in length
overall with a beam of up to 20 meters. Large fabrication shops
and erection areas, a 200 metric ton shiplift, three launchways,
and numerous berthing spaces along the 671 meter dockwall provide
the facilities needed to construct multiple ships in assembly
line fashion. .

Marinette Marine’s module construction method is
complemented by separate cutting, fabricating, assembly, and
trade shops allowing smooth and efficient movement of material
and prefabricated components through the construction process.
Many of the shops are equipped with overhead bridge cranes of up
to 45 metric ton capacity, and multiple crawler cranes service
the outdoor erection areas. Large modules and completed vessels
are transferred and erected using a Dual Walking Beam ship
transfer system.

Total employment at the yard in mid-1992 was 130, compared
to 218 a year earlier.

14. Tampa Shipyards, Inc.

Founded in 1948, Tampa Shipyards, Inc., (formerly Tampa
Ship Repair and Drydock Co.) is a full service yard which was
Purchased by The American Ship Building Co. in 1972 and is
located on the recently deepened 13 meter Sparkman Channel in
Tampa, FL. This channel depth reduces to 10 meters approximately
457 meters from the shipyard.

During World War II, the company built Navy auxiliary
vessels and C2 cargo ships for the Maritime Commission. Since
World War II, Tampa Ship has been a major Gulf Coast repair yard.
During the 1980's significant projects completed by Tampa Ship
included the conversion of four Moore-McCormack C4 cargo ships to
larger self-sustaining breakbulk/container vessels and the
construction of five 30,000 dwt clean-product, ice~strengthened
tankers for charter to the Military Sealift Command.

During 1989, Tampa Shipyards completed the conversion of
two freighters to auxiliary crane ships, T-ACS 7 and 8, for the
Maritime Administration. work is currently underway on the
completion of two T-AO fleet oilers, BENJAMIN ISHERWOOD and HENRY
ECKFORD, which were originally contracted to Pennsylvania
Shipbuilding Co. in 1985 and construction of a T-AGOS Ocean
Surveillance Ship, IMPECCABLE.

Major facility installations were integrated into Tampa's
ship construction program in 1984. The additions include: a
concrete pier, two graving docks, two wet berths, additional
shops, and an erection/assembly building. The erection/assembly
building is 183 meters by 44 meters by 35 meters, and is serviced
by three overhead bridge. cranes with a combined lifting capacity
of 800 metric tons. About 107 meters of this building straddles
one of the graving docks, allowing pre-assembled units weighing
in excess of 608 metric tons to be erected in a totally enclosed
environment. The company currently has four graving docks
operational. The largest can handle ships up to 273 meters by 45
meters. Two of the drydocks can accommodate a vessel as large as
226 meters by 32 meters.

To provide additional fabricating Capability, Tampa Ship
has purchased the Westinghouse heavy steel fabricating facility
on Tampa's Westshore Blvd. This facility provides over 4
hectares of covered fabrication floor, bridge cranes up to 635
metric ton capacity, and barge loading facilities. The building
is two hours by tow from Tampa Ship. This heavy steel
fabricating facility is now referred to as the Westshore
Facility. In addition, Tampa Ship currently leases two wet
berths north of the main yard at South Slip. These wet berths
are 256 meters and 213 meters long.

As of mid-1992, 1,410 people were on Tampa’s payroll
compared to 1,142 in mid-1991.

A U.S. PRIV: 1S

Average hourly earnings in the U.S. private shipyards are presented on
a "gross" basis, reflecting not only changes in basic hourly and
incentive wage rates, but also such variable factors as premium pay
for overtime and late-shift work, as well as changes in output for
workers paid on an incentive plan. Averages of hourly earnings differ
from wage rates. Earnings are the actual return to the workers for a
stated period of time; rates are the amount stipulated for a given
unit of work or time. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by
multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross
average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the
workweek.

The average hourly earnings of the private shipyards in the United
States from 1982 through the first nine months of 1992 show an
increase from $10.21 to an average of $12.83 (Exhibit 31). During the
same period, the average weekly earnings rose from $408.35 to $514.52.

accommodate a vessel up to 110 meters by 12 meters and is
Navy-certified for.1,118 metric tons.

PBI recently purchased a 2 hectare shipyard on the Jewell-
Fulton Canal in Ingleside, TX. This Property will be known as
the Ingleside Division of Peterson Builders, Inc., and will
Support warranty and repair services for the mine countermeasure
ships homeported at the Ingleside Naval Base as well as offer
commercial marine repair services.

Current construction contracts underway at PBI are for six
wooden 68 meter Mine Countermeasure Ships (MCMs) for the U.S.
Navy. As part of the Navy's mine warfare renewal program, these
MCMs will replace ships in service since the early 1950's. PBI
has been a leader in mine craft construction since that time;
longer than any other shipyard in the world. This new generation
of wooden ships being built at PBI are not the only "first of a
kind" contracts awarded to the yard. Other completed “new class
of ship” construction contracts were four steel 69 meter
Auxiliary Rescue/Salvage (ARS) ships and seven wooden 33 meter
Yard Patrol craft (YP). PBI also maintains a long-standing
history for commercial vessel construction ranging from super
tuna seiners, research ships, large passenger/car ferries, and a
range of tugs.

During 1992, Peterson Builders received contracts for one
29 meter Ferry for Miller Boat Line, Inc., five 6 meter aluminum
Patrol Boats and seven 11 meter fiberglass Landing Craft
Personnel Large (LCPLs) for the Department of the Navy. Drydock
and repair work included two U.S. Coast Guard Buoy Tenders,
MOBILE BAY and ACAIA.

At mid-1992, total employment at PBI was 910, compared to
990 in 1991.

GENERAL

A major shipbuilding and repair facility is defined in this
report as one that is open and has the capability to construct,
drydock, and/or topside repair vessels with a minimum length
overall of 122 meters, provided that water depth in the channel
to the facility is at least 3.7 meters. Appendix B is a
statistical abstract of data gathered from 106 companies
responding to MARAD’s annual survey which meet these criteria.
It lists the facilities sorted on a coastal basis and displays
information with respect to the size and type of each building
position, drydock, berth space, employment, and remarks regarding
principal shipyard activities.

Table 1 (page 57) has been prepared to answer the frequent
question as to the number of shipbuilding positions available to
build a complete specified ship. With the exception of the
mobilization ship, the ship types listed in Table 1 are those
historically delivered to commercial service. Length overall and
beam are given for all ships and, in addition, deadweight tonnage
is indicated for the bulk carriers. A single shipway or basin
may have several building positions depending on the size of the
ships being constructed. For example, the 366 meter by 60 meter
basin at BethShip’s Sparrows Point Yard can accommodate one
265,000-dwt tanker or four of the smaller general cargo ships.
The total number of building positions varies from 79 for the
small cargo ship to three for a huge 265,000-dwt tanker. An
important consideration that is not addressed in Table 1 is the
common shipbuilding practice of laying a keel on a building
position already occupied by another ship. For example, in a
213-meter basin, a complete 186~-meter containership and the stern
section of a second ship could be constructed simultaneously.
This production procedure maximizes the use of shipbuilding
facilities, minimizes the construction period, and increases the
number of ships that can be produced in a given period of time.
Table 1 addresses only the number of complete ships that can be
constructed simultaneously in each building position(s).

Table 2 (page 70) is a somewhat different presentation of
shipyard capability. In lieu of actual ships, maximum ship
length is used to determine the number of shipways or basins
available. In this tabulation, the emphasis is on the number of
individual facilities available and not on the number of ships
that can be constructed. Again, using the BethShip Sparrows
Point Yard as an example, Table 2 lists the 366 meter by 60 meter
basin as one facility regardless of what type of ship is
constructed in it. Table 1 indicates that there are six building
positions for a ship 145 meter LOA at the Sparrows Point Yard,
whereas Table 2 indicates that the yard has three individual
building positions capable of constructing a ship about that
length. Exhibit 18 is a histogram displaying the reduction in
the number of available building positions as the maximum ship
length increases.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT

During FY 1992, the U.S. ship construction and ship repair industry
invested more than $215 million in the upgrade and expansion of

p Hise inves tment was

efficiency and competitiveness in the Navy's construction, repair and
overhaul projects, which are considered the most consistent and stable
element in the industry's projected market.

In 1993, the industry plans to spend about $142 million in the upgrade
and expansion of facilities, according to data received by the
Maritime Administration. The industry' s capital investments since
1970 have totaled more than $5 billion, and actual expenditures
between 1985 and 1992, with the exception of 1990, have consistently
exceeded those planned.

These capital investments have included building basins, floating
drydocks, cranes, automated equipment, and highly mechanized modular
techniques - fabrication of large subassemblies and pre-outfitting of
ship components.

Exhibit 3



OT. Ni

The U.S. Navy shipbuilding plan for fiscal years 1994 - 1997 and the
appropriation for fiscal year 1993 includes the construction of 37 new
ships, as illustrated in Exhibit 28. More than $30 billion is
proposed for this plan. Shipyard contract value accounts for about a
third of this amount, while the remainder is attributed to :
Government-furnished equipment placed aboard the vessels and to other
Government program costs.

The Navy's proposed FY 1994 - 1997 shipbuilding program represents a
continued reduction in the amount of new shipbuilding work available
to the nation's industrial base when compared with previous Navy
programs. At an average of less than 8 ships per year, this program
represents a 58 percent reduction in the quantity of ships to be
procured compared with the 19 ships per year average for Navy programs
during the 1980s.

The Navy's plan includes the construction of 1 nuclear aircraft
carrier (CVN), 19 guided missile destroyers (DDG-51) and 2 amphibious
assault ships (LHD). These three shipbuilding programs will probably
consume approximately 77 percent of the available funding.

Navy warships and auxiliaries. Since 1975, Ingalls has designed,
built and delivered to the Navy 58 major surface combatant ships.

As of October 1, 1992, the company held orders for three
Aegis cruisers -- the last of which is scheduled for delivery in
1994. Other ships under contract were three Ingalls-designed
multi-purpose amphibious assault ships (LHDs) for the Navy, as
well as nine new DDG-51 class guided missile destroyers. The
Ingalls backlog also includes three SA’‘AR corvettes for the
Government of Israel.

Ingalls 243 hectare West Bank facility, completed in 1970,
does not have conventional inclined shipbuilding ways but is
geared to assembly-line construction. Fabricated steel and
subassemblies are brought from the various shops to the
subassembly area where they are erected and Pre-outfitted, then
moved to the module assembly area. These areas are divided into
five bays, each of which can produce 5,447 metric ton modules.
After assembly and outfitting, the modules are moved to the
integration area where they are erected into a complete ship.
The ship is then moved to a floating drydock (resting ona
submerged grid) which is subsequently floated and moved to a
deep-water area where it is ballasted and the ship launched. The
drydock can launch or recover a maximum ship size of 259 meters
by 53 meters. Approximately 1,432 meters of berthing space,
serviced by cranes up to 272 metric tons, are available for
outfitting. In August 1988, about 16,721 square meters of the
shipyard’s slab area were brought under roof to increase the
amount of early outfitting performed. Improved pipe production
facilities, a machinery packaging facility, and a new blast and
paint station in the steel fabrication complex have been added.

Ingalls’ older East Bank facility has been in operation
since 1938, engaged primarily in the construction of commercial
cargo ships and tankers. Although there are six inclined
shipways and a graving dock at East Bank, they were all taken out
of service in 1989. Refurbishment of these facilities is
anticipated to take at least two years. However, a wharf and
four piers provide a total of 914 meters of berthing space
serviced by cranes with up to 54 metric tons of capacity for
outfitting and topside repair.

As of mid-1992, Ingalls employed a total labor force of
16,072, up slightly from 15,531 a year earlier.

TOTA. N_PRIVAT PYARDS

According to preliminary employment data published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor, under the Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 3731 (Shipbuilding and
Repairing), the average total employment in U.S. private shipyards for
the first nine months of 1992 was 125,200 (Exhibit 30). This total
reflects a decline of 4.4 percent from the reported total average —
employment for the shipbuilding and repairing industry for 1991.

According to the data published by the BLS, total average

employment in the shipbuilding and repairing industry increased
slightly between 1989 and 1991, but is currently projected to be
approximately the same as the 1989 level. Despite the fact that the
employment level has increased in the last few years it has remained
considerably lower than that reported in 1982 when 171,600 people were
employed in the industry.

MAJOR U.S. SHIPBUILDIN REPAIR (WITH
DRYDOCKING), AND TOPSIDE REPAIR FACILITIES

CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS

- Shipbuilding: Facilities that are open, having at least one
shipbuilding position, either an inclined way, a side-
launching platform, or a building basin capable of
accommodating 122 meters in length and over. With few
exceptions, these shipbuilding facilities are also major
repair facilities with drydocking capability.

- Repair (With Drydocking): Drydocking facilities for ships

122 meters in length and over. These facilities may also be
capable of constructing vessels less than 122 meters in
length.

- Topside Repair: Facilities with sufficient berth/pier space
for topside repair of ships 122 meters in length and over.
These facilities may also be capable of constructing and/or
drydocking vessels less than 122 meters in length.

NE! RE REMENTS

The shipyard must own or have in place a long-term lease (1 year
or more) on the facility in which they intend to accomplish the
work.

There must be no dimensional obstructions in the waterway leading
to open ocean (i.e., locks, bridges).

Water depth in the channel to the facility must be a minimum of
3.7 meters.

NOTE

The following criteria were developed to establish the maximum
ship size that could be accommodated in each drydock:

For floating drydocks, the maximum ship length is as given
by the shipyards. The maximum beam was determined by
allowing a 0.6 meter clearance at each side between the ship
and wing wall.

Por graving docks, the maximum ship length was determined by
allowing a 0.6 meter clearance at each end between the ship
and the inside of the dock at the floor. The maximum beam
was determined by allowing a 0.6 meter clearance on each
side between the ship and each side of the dock entrance at
the sill, unless the shipyard indicated more clearance is
required.

There are several types of floating drydocks and graving docks,
and under certain circumstances additional clearance would be
necessary between the ship and the dock body. Permissible ship
sizes requiring additional clearance may be determined by simple
calculation from the above criteria.

MAJOR SHIPBUILDING FACILITIES

The following is a brief description of 16 of the major U.S.
privately-owned shipbuilding facilities. Exhibits 1 through 16
are general arrangement drawings of each yard‘s facilities.

shipyards in addition to the General Dynamics Corp.’s Electric
Boat Division which, although a major privately-owned shipyard,
is engaged exclusively in construction of submarines for the U.S.


SHIP REPAIR INDUSTRY

While over 200 privately owned firms of varying capabilities
are involved in repairing ships in the United States, only 41
yards are capable of drydocking vessels 122 meters in length and
over. ror ships this size, the U.S. shipbuilding and repair
industry is currently operating a total of 50 floating drydocks,
29 graving docks, and 3 marine railways. However, some of these
graving docks are committed to new construction. The large
organizations which have drydocks generally have extensive
waterfront acreage and are capable of all types of ship repair
and maintenance. Major shipyards usually combine repair,
overhaul, and conversion with shipbuilding capabilities, and
employment usually numbers in the thousands. It is difficult to
draw a sharp line between shipbuilding yards and ship repair
yards, as many of the two engage in both types of work.

Repair (with Drydocking) Facilities

Major drydocking facilities are defined as those yards
having at least one drydocking facility that can accommodate
vessels 122 meters in length and over, provided that water depth
in the channel to the shipyard itself is at least 3.7 meters.
These facilities may also be capable of constructing a vessel
less than 122 meters length overall. Exhibit 19 is a histogram
displaying the reduction in the number of availible floating
drydocks as the maximum ship length increases.

Appendix B tabulates information updated through 1992 on 35
of these repair yards by geographical location. Additional
information is available in the Office of Ship Construction.

Major Topside Repair Facilities

Major topside repair facilities are those that have
sufficient berth/pier space for topside repair of ships 122
meters in length and over, provided that water depth in the
channel to the facility itself is at least 3.7 meters. These
facilities may also have drydocks and/or construction capability
for vessels less than 122 meters in length. Services rendered by
these firms vary from a simple repair job to a major topside
overhaul, particularly when the work on oceangoing ships can be
accomplished without taking the ships out of the water. It is
common practice for a shipyard to send its personnel and
equipment to provide voyage repairs while the ship is at anchor
or working cargo at a commercial marine terminal. There is an
increasing trend worldwide to send ship repairers to the ship
rather than to bring the ship to the shipyard, thus calling for
greater mobility of ship repair personnel.

4. BethShip Sparrows Point Yard

The BethShip Sparrows Point Yard is located on the
Patapsco River in the port of Baltimore, MD. Established in
1891, the yard became a part of the Bethlehem organization in
1916 and served as a major shipbuilder during two world wars.
During World War II, Sparrows Point constructed 101 vessels of 16
different classes. During the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s, the
yard was among the most active in the nation, specializing in
series construction of standard size tankers up to VLCCs,
freighters, and containerships.

Since the beginning of 1981, the yard has constructed six
Integrated Tug Barge (ITB) tankers, six offshore drilling rigs,
two container feeder barges, and two oceanographic survey ships
for the U.S. Navy. During this same period the yard has adapted
to changing markets by increased efforts in ship conversion,

_ repair and industrial fabrication. In addition to numerous
drydockings and repairs on commercial and Naval ships, three
RO/ROs have been converted to Maritime Prepositioning Ships, five
RO/ROs have been reflagged, and tunnel sections for a new
Interstate 664 Hampton Roads Tunnel Complex have been completed.
The yard is currently working on tunnel sections for the new
Interstate 90 project in Boston.

The major component of this shipyard is the building basin

(the second largest in the U.S.) for construction or repair of
ships as large as 365 meters by 59 meters up to about 300,000
dwt. A two-position intermediate gate has been installed to
increase the flexibility of the basin by dividing it into two
sections... In one position the basin’s sections are 274 meters
and 91 meters in length. In the second position, the sections
are 209 meters and 157 meters in length.

Complementing the large basin, which is served by four
181-metric ton revolving cranes, the shipyard maintains two
building ways. Each way can accommodate a maximum ship size of
244 meters by 32 meters. Four outfitting berths are available
with a combined length of 1,210 meters. The berths are served by
five cranes with lifting capacities up to 45 metric tons.

Several mobile cranes of various capacities are also available.

BethShip Sparrows Point Yard also has a floating drydock
capable of lifting 44,735 metric tons. The drydock can
accommodate vessels up to 274 meters in length with a beam of up
to 41 meters and a draft up to 9 meters. The entry channel to
the yard has a depth of 9 meters.

The total labor force at the BethShip Sparrows Point Yard
was 1,368 at mid-1992, up from 539 a year earlier.

Introduction

In compliance with the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as
amended, 1/ the Maritime Administration (MARAD) conducts an
annual survey to obtain information from the shipbuilding and
ship repair industry to be used primarily to determine if an
adequate mobilization base exists for national defense and for
use in a national emergency. This report on the 1992 survey of
U.S. shipyard facilities was prepared by the Division of
Production, Office of Ship Construction, and is for general use
within the Maritime Administration and other Government agencies.

1/ Section 210

"It shall be the duty of the Secretary of Transportation to
make a survey of the American merchant marine, as it now exists,
to determine what additions and replacements are required to
carry forward the national policy declared in Section 101 of the
Act, and the Secretary of Transportation is directed to study,
perfect, and adopt a long-range program for replacements and
additions to the American merchant marine so that as soon as
practicable the following objectives may be accomplished:
...Fourth, the creation and maintenance of efficient shipyards
and repair capacity in the United States with adequate numbers of
skilled personnel to provide an adequate mobilization base."

Section 211

"The Secretary of Transportation is authorized and directed
to investigate, determine, and keep current records of ... (g)
The, number, location, and efficiency of the shipyards existing on
the date of enactment of this Act or thereafter built in the
United States."

Section 502(f)

"The Secretary of Transportation with the advice of and in
coordination with the Secretary of the Navy, shall, at. least once
a year, as required for purposes of the Act, survey -the existing
privately-owned shipyards capable of merchant ship construction,
or review available data on such shipyards if deemed adequate, to
determine whether their capabilities for merchant ship
construction, including facilities and skilled personnel, provide
an adequate mobilization base at strategic points for purposes of
national defense and national emergency."

3. National Steel and Shipbuilding Co.

National Steel and Shipbuilding Co. ({NASSCO), the largest
shipbuilder on the West Coast, participates in both the a
commercial and the U.S. Navy shipbuilding, conversion, and repair
markets. In the marine business since 1945, the company now
occupies 59 hectares on the harbor in San Diego, CA. In 1989,
NASSCO became an employee-owned company.

In the past, NASSCO has constructed OBO carriers, very
large crude carriers (VLCC) up to 209,000 dwt, product carriers,
destroyer tenders, a large cable repair ship, special purpose
ships and a variety of Navy vessels. NASSCO conversion projects
have included the conversion of two 90,000 dwt tankers to
1,000-bed hospital ships (T-AH), three containerships to Maritime
Prepositioning Ships (T-AKX), and the reconstruction of three
former Sea-Land SL-7 containerships to Fast Sealift Ships (T-AKR)
for the Navy. Repair and overhaul work during the past few years
consisted principally of Navy contracts.

NASSCO has contracts to design and construct three AOE
class Fast Combat Support Ships for the Navy. In August 1992,
NASSCO delivered a commercial containership to Matson Navigation
Company. As of October 1, 1992, NASSCO was performing overhaul
and repair work on six Navy vessels.

NASSCO’s facilities include a building dock in which ships
up to 299 meters by 52 meters can be constructed. In addition,
the company operates three inclined building ways. Two of these
can accommodate a maximum size ship of 274 meters by 34 meters
and one. a ship size of 210 meters by 27 meters. Cranes are
available that can provide lifts up to 159 metric tons. Berthing
is available at 10 full-service berths that can accommodate ships
with drafts up to 11 meters and lengths up to 305 meters. NASSCO
also operates a 25,400 metric ton floating drydock.

NASSCO has a full-service machine shop, carpenter shop,
sheet metal shop and pipe shop with an automated Pipe silo. The
company’s steel fabrication and assembly facilities, with a
capacity of 1,816 metric tons per week, includes seven burning
machines: one has a plasma arc and two have computer numerical
control. Steel assembly facilities include a modern 16 meters
panel line, eight assembly tables with a combined area of 11,472
Square meters, a turning jig for curved steel blocks, and an
enhanced pin jig area with two bridge cranes. There is also an
automated line for blasting and priming steel plates and shapes.
NASSCO offers full-service marine engineering and naval
architecture, utilizing the latest technology such as Computer-
Graphics Augmented Drafting and Manufacturing System (CADAM).

As of mid-1992 the total labor force was 4,085, up
slightly from 3,931 in mid-1991,

2. Avondale Industries, Inc. - Avondale Shipyards Division

Avondale Shipyards Division is located on the west bank of
the Mississippi River approximately fourteen kilometers upriver
from New Orleans, LA. Avondale, previously a wholly owned
subsid‘ ary of Odgen Corp., was sold in 1985 to its employees in
an Empioyee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Since 1938, Avondale
has constructed a full range of Navy and commercial ships, as
well as Coast Guard cutters and offshore drilling rigs; and it
has the distinction of being the only American shipyard to have
constructed LASH vessels.

Avondale also maintains an active repair operation for
commercial and naval ships. Inland waterway and offshore oil
vessels are repaired by Avondale’s Westwego and Harvey Divisions.
Offshore platforms, jackets, and production medules are
constructed by Avondale’s main plant.

Avondale’s new construction orderbook as of October 1,
1992, consisted of one oceanographic survey ship (T-AGS 45), five
fleet oilers (T-AO’s) and three dock landing ships (LSD’s). In
addition, Avondale has a contract for the jumboization of one
Navy fleet oiler of the AO-177 class.

Avondale’s main yard facility totals 108 hectares and
contains three outfitting docks equipped with supporting shops
and over 1,829 meters of pier space. Avondale’s upper yard
shipbuilding area has two large positions to accommodate vessels
of up to 311 meters in length by 53 meters beam. The major part
of one ship can be erected along with the stern section of a
second ship on position No. 1, while a third hull is being
completed on position No. 2. Ships constructed in the upper yard
move laterally in three positions for launching by Avondale’s
large floating drydock, which can accommodate Ships as large as
305 meters by 66 meters, with a lifting capacity of 82,296 metric
tons. Avondale’s lower yard has a side-launching construction
area that has three large positions to accommodate ships as large
as 366 meters by 38 meters. Ships built in the lower yard move
laterally toward the river and parallel to the river in five
positions. Up to five large vessels, greater than 213 meters
LOA, can be constructed simultaneously in the lower yard. A
Panamax floating drydock is moored in this area, which can
accommodate ships up to 229 meters by 34 meters, and has a
lifting capacity of 20,320 metric tons.

Avondale’s nearby Westwego, LA, facility is capable of
building vessels 137 meters long by 27 meters beam. In 1988,
Avondale long-term leased the ex-Todd Shipbuilding Corp.’s New
Orleans yard which is now called the Avondale Algiers Repair and
Overhaul Facility and is used for ship repair, conversion, and
overhaul.

In mid-1992, the total employment was about 6,500, down
from 7,300 a year earlier. :

5. Fraser Shipyards, Inc.

The Fraser Yard, the only major American shipyard and
drydock operation on the western end of the Great Lakes, is
located on Howards Bay in Superior, WI. Since it was founded in
the 1890’s by Capt. Alexander McDougall, who built 42 of his
famous "whaleback" steamers and barges there, this Plant has had
a succession of owners. From 1900 to 1926, Superior Shipbuilding
Co. operated the yard and built more than 50 large Great Lakes
ore carriers. The yard became a repair facility of the American
Ship Building Co. from 1926 to 1945 and then became known as
Knudsen Brothers Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. Fraser-Nelson
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. took over the Plant in 1955, and
the present name was adopted in 1964. In August 1977, the yard
was sold to Reuben Johnson & Son, Inc., a Superior, WI,
contracting and construction firm, but business continues under
the Fraser name.

Since World War II, Fraser Shipyards, a complete
shipbuilding and ship repair facility, has specialized in vessel
repair and ship modernization. In the past 20 years, Fraser has
performed most of the major ship lengthening work on the Great
Lakes. At this shipyard, general ship repair also has been an
important source of revenue.

In the early 1980's, the Fraser yard instituted a major
renovation of its fabrication capabilities, including a 40
percent increase in its platen table capacity and extension of
its railroad trackage to increase steel unloading capabilities by
300 percent. An ali-new steel cutting process with hydraulic
loading and unloading tables was installed, as well as ma jor
repowering of the shipyard to support the expanding facilities
and to improve existing capacity. New automated welding
equipment and related modern techniques also were introduced to
increase productivity. In 1990 Fraser installed a new metal-
forming brake as well as a new shear.

Fraser maintains two graving docks suitable for ship
construction, repair, and conversion work. One basin can
accommodate a vessel 251 meters by 25 meters, and the other a
vessel 189 meters by 19 meters. A small graving-type dock was
added in 1973 to build new midbody sections for the lengthening
of bulk-ore freighters under contract at that time.

Fraser's 10 mobile cranes, ranging from 14 to 136 metric
tons can service all building docks, as well as outfitting and
repair berths, and also can be floated on a crane lighter for
work afloat. The company also operates an "outside" repair fleet
totaling 12 units -- tugs, work launches, and barges -- capable
of performing repairs on vessels while they are loading or
unloading cargoes in Duluth-Superior harbor and adjacent ports.

In mid-1992, employment was about 60 people, down from 160
a year earlier.

The statistical data accumulated by the survey are a major
input into the Shipyard Evaluation Analysis System Model (SEAS),
a quantitative assessment of the Nation’s ship construction and
ship repair capability. This capability is periodically compared
with Department of Defense scenarios involving various
contingency attrition rates and emergency civilian shipping
requirements to assess the adequacy of the shipbuilding
mobilization base, including ship repair and reactivation of the
Maritime Administration reserve fleet and the U.S. Navy reserve
fleet.

The survey also provides a database that is used to evaluate
the feasibility of proposed shipbuilding programs.
Determinations are made as to which existing shipyards might
construct proposed ships consistent with ship size and delivery
date requirements. The need for construction of new facilities
to meet the demands of proposed shipbuilding programs can be also
identified. The data gathered by the annual survey also are used
extensively in MARAD responses to queries received from a variety
of interests, including members of Congress, the Secretary of
Transportation, the Department of Defense, the Office of
Management and Budget, and other Government agencies.

Each year in late spring, Standard Form 17, "Facilities
Available for the Construction or Repair of Ships," is mailed to
some 325 U.S. shipyards and ship repair facilities. The survey
form was developed jointly by MARAD and the Navy. A completed
Form 17 represents a detailed description of a shipbuilding or
ship repair facility, which is not available from any other
source on a continuing and structured basis. The information
requested, and available for official use, can be reviewed ona
blank Form 17 shown herein as Appendix A. A graving dock
characteristics summary and floating drydock characteristics
summary are appended to Standard Form 17 to better identify the
characteristics of the facilities.

Upon receipt of a completed Form 17 from a shipyard, MARAD
forwards a copy to the Naval Sea Systems Command, Industrial
Planning and Surveys Division, which maintains records of
available facilities and capacities of various shipyards and
repair plants. This would enable the Department of
Transportation and the Department of Defense to use such
facilities to the best advantage in the event of national
emergency.

The annual shipyard survey of 1992 has been completed. The
information collected has been organized and condensed in the
following narratives, exhibits, and tabulations to focus
attention on those elements that are most often requested from
this office.

16. Trinity Industries, Inc. - Beaumont Yard

This shipyard, located on the Neches River in Beaumont,
Texas, was established in 1917 by Beaumont Shipbuilding and
Drydock Co., which built Cl-A cargo ships and Navy minesweepers
during World War II. In 1947, the yard was acquired by Bethlehem
Steel Corp., which pioneered the design and production of mobile
offshore drilling rigs, drill ships, offshore oil and gas
facilities and barges. After closure in mid-1988, the yard was
acquired and reopened in mid-1989 by Trinity Industries, Inc,, of
Dallas, Texas.

Trinity’s Beaumont yard is highly mechanized. In the
early 1970s, a multimillion-dollar panel line and material
handling facilities were installed. In recent years, capital
improvements included installation of a CNC plasma burning
machine, larger plate bending rolls, larger overhead bridge
cranes, pipe burning and bending equipment, a pipe fabrication
shop, improved welding equipment, mobile cranes, and improved
building platens.

Trinity-Beaumont has one side-launching way that can
accommodate ships up to approximately 267 meters by 32 meters.
Also, the yard has recently acquired under lease a floating
drydock (AFDM-2) from the Navy. This drydock, which can
accommodate a vessel up to 183 meters in length with a beam of
26.5 meters. Trinity Beaumont has also recently acquired an
additional floating drydock that can accommodate a vessel up to
198 meters in length with a beam of 32 meters. The newly
acquired drydock is expected to be operational in the shipyard by
mid-1993.

There are 1,402 meters of fully-serviced piers and wharves
and mobile equipment for servicing ships or other vessels at
pierside or anchorage. With a 508 metric ton lift capacity, the
company’s barge-mounted “Big Bessie" is the largest floating
derrick between Houston and New Orleans.

While awaiting a major marine construction contract, Trinity is
utilizing the yard's flexibility by repairing and servicing
railcars, building LPG tank barges and both inland and ocean
hopper barges and recently began construction of four (4) 63
meter Oil Spill Response Vessels.

Employment at Trinity’s Beaumont facility at mid-1992 was
83, down slightly from 95 a year earlier.

Appendix B also tabulates information through 1992 on the
topside repair yards’ facilities (berth/pier space). The yards’
building ways, drydocks, marine railways, etc., are not addressed
herein as they cannot accommodate vessels 122 meters in length
and over. _ However, detailed data for these facilities were
obtained during the MARAD annual shipyard survey and are
available in the Office of Ship Construction.

ACTIVE SHIPBUILDING BASE

The Active Shipbuilding Base, as identified by the Navy and
MARAD, is comprised of 15 privately owned U.S. shipyards which
are open and currently engaged in or seeking contracts for the
construction of major oceangoing or Great Lakes ships 1,000 gross
tons or over. Exhibit 20 of this report identifies and
geographically locates these 15 yards.

During 1992, the number of yards in the Active Shipbuilding
Base decreased by one. As of October 1992, the 15 remaining
yards employed roughly 67 percent of the U.S. shipbuilding and
repair industry’s total work force, as reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics under SIC 3731. At that same time, 93 percent
of the production workers in these 15 shipyards were engaged in
Navy or Coast Guard ship construction and repair work.

As of year end, eight of the 15 shipyards were engaged in
construction and/or conversion of major combatant and auxiliary
ships for the Navy. Two of the yards were engaged primarily in
ship construction work provided by the Navy’s T-Ship program.
Five of the yards had only repair and overhaul work, smaller Navy
