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.
