San Diego Repair Facility
Austal USA’s San Diego operations are centered around the waterfront dry-dock facility in National City adjacent to Naval Base San Diego. The 15-acre site focuses on ship repair for U.S. Navy, Military Sealift Command, and U.S. Coast Guard ships.
The facility includes a dry dock with 9,000 ton lifting capacity optimized to execute availabilities on Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) and other small surface combatants. It is 531 feet (162 meters) long, 154 feet (47 meters) wide, with a maximum draft of 36 feet (11 meters). Services at the repair facility include technical and material support, topside work, and drydocking availabilities. The new facility enables more availabilities to be completed in their home port of San Diego reducing the strain on the fleet and Sailors.
Singapore
Austal USA’s Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore offers an expanding array of deployed technical services and support to ships and crews operating in the region to include maintenance work in Guam. Austal USA’s expansion to Singapore provides responsive support to our Navy and Military Sealift Command (MSC) customers in the region.
