Alaska Ship & Drydock

Alaska Ship & Drydock is the newest Vigor Industrial group company. We understand that maritime operations are especially challenging in Alaska and the arctic. So our experienced engineers, project managers and technicians deliver every customer Alaska-tough results. In our drydocks, on our piers, and soon inside our state-of-the-art construction and assembly hall, Alaska Ship & Drydock gets it done, Alaska style.

Services

Newbuild

We work with our customers from the earliest planning stages of new construction, designing production paths to optimize construction time and cost, materials planning and vessel performance. ASD uses a modular building process to achieve time-cost-quality. We build vessels in our new 70,000 square foot, state-of-the-art assembly hall. With an adjacent production center and two 75 ton gantry cranes with a maximum hook-height of 90 feet, we can build vessels up to 500 feet in length using globally recognized best practice shipbuilding techniques.


We offer our newbuild customers:

  • Preliminary design and engineering for loading, stability, classification review, etc.
  • Detailed design and engineering for bills of materials and production support such as cutting orders
  • Fabrication, assembly and erection process
  • Outfitting - add final hull, mechanical, electrical items
  • Systems integration and testing
  • Roll out and launch for final outfitting, testing, trials
  • Warranty follow-up as needed

Repair and Overhaul 


To the extent possible, Alaska Ship & Drydock follows a zone-oriented approach to overhaul and repair work. This facilitates timely planning, scheduling, execution and performance testing across all of our system and trade boundaries.



A zone can be a compartment on the vessel, a group of compartments, a system, a group of systems, or a prefabricated unit being built in our shop. Creating zones allows ASD to aggregate tasks at any given stage of a job to keep our customer focus laser-sharp.



The zone concept allows task grouping, resources allocation, and interdependency decisions to be made earlier and from a project wide perspective.

Our repair and overhaul customers benefit from:

  • Pre-work Inspections and Testing
  • Estimate-bid-contract development
  • Removals
  • Inspections
  • Reinstallation
  • Tests and/or Trials
  • Dock and/or Sea Trials
  • Completion Surveys
