Drydock Enhancement Project

Thames Shipyard is currently working on modifications to its Number 2 drydock. Once completed, the drydock
will be lengthened by 24 feet and widened by 20 feet bringing the overall length to 170 feet (120’ long pontoon
with a 25’ apron on each end), and overall width to 92 feet. These improvements to the drydock will increase
its deck size, enabling it to haul longer and wider vessels. They will increase the drydock's capacity, stability
and efficiency and enable it to haul heavier vessels with higher centers of gravity and extend its useful life
by 30 years. The drydock pumping and electrical system will also be upgraded.
