to NORSHIPCO , the corporate headquarters of United States Marine Repair, America's leading non-nuclear ship repair, modernization, conversion and overhaul company. Founded in 1915, NORSHIPCO has a long, colorful, illustrious history. From modest beginnings, repairing tugboats and wooden hull schooners, NORSHIPCO has been partnering with commercial and government customers since its inception. With the arrival of the Titan dry dock in 1979, the company demonstrated its expertise and capabilities by dry docking and repairing the world's cruise ships, starting with the TSS CARNIVALE for Carnival Cruise Lines. At NORSHIPCO, customers benefit from knowledge and expertise shared among our USMR shipyards. We perform almost any size job, regardless of the complexity of the project, from routine maintenance to major overhauls and modernization. NORSHIPCO began servicing Navy ships during World War I. Ever since, the United States Government has been one of NORSHIPCO's major customers, and the shipyard has achieved international prominence. Located in a principal commercial and U.S. Navy megaport, the 109-acre site serves the Navy fleet, as well as cruise ship owners, LNG tanker owners, ferries and commercial cargo ships, to name a few. NORSHIPCO joined the United States Marine Repair family of shipyards in 1998 and shortly thereafter underwent extensive remodeling and modernization of its entire Norfolk facility. The shipyard is fully equipped with state-of-the-art shop capabilities, dry docks - including the 950-ft. "TITAN" and the "OLD DOMINION," the company's newest 14,000-ton dry dock - and pier space. DMI NORSHIPCO USA, a division of the shipyard and the exclusive U.S. associate with Diesel Marine International Ltd., is the only state-of-the-art reconditioning facility in North America. DMI NORSHIPCO supplies the world's large bore and medium speed diesel industry with high quality, world-renowned components. Additionally, NORSHIPCO provides offsite emergent down river repair services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The shipyard, perfectly positioned to serve the varied requirements and needs of its government and commercial customers, prides itself on treating its skilled, experienced workforce with dignity and respect, customer satisfaction and on-time delivery of a quality product.

With a long, rich past, the shipyard has been a part of the city's history since its inception in 1915. Up until 1998, NORSHIPCO was family-owned and operated.

THROUGH the YEARS From modest beginnings, performing tugboat and wooden-hull schooner repairs, NORSHIPCO has grown to become a major force in the Government and commercial ship repair, modernization, conversion and overhaul industry. The company has been partnering with commercial customers since its inception. Since the arrival of the Titan dry dock in 1979, NORSHIPCO has used its expertise to dry dock and repair the world's cruise ships, starting with the TSS CARNIVALE for Carnival Cruise lines. NORSHIPCO also prides itself on being a leader in the refurbishing and conversion of other types of commercial vessels including ferries, tankers, LNG carriers, cargo liners and container ships. With NORSHIPCO S "Time is Money" philosophy, the company makes the most of the time our customers spend at our shipyard by delivering the best value for their money. The time a ship is "out of service" for repair and maintenance is minimized, and the quality and reliability of our work is maximized. At NORSHIPCO the customers benefit from knowledge and expertise shared among our USMR shipyards. We have the capabilities of performing almost any size and complexity of a commercial project, from routine repairs to major overhauls and modernization. When America entered World War I, the company began repairing Navy vessels, and the U.S. Government became a primary customer. Through the years, NORSHIPCO continued to serve commercial and Government vessel owners, while building a solid foundation of knowledge, expertise and experience, necessary to meet the evolving needs of its varied customer base. In addition to expertise in Government work, the company specializes in repairs of all crafts connected with the exploration, production and transportation associated with the oil industry, from service and crew boats to drilling platforms, pipe barges and heavy lift ships. TRANSFORMATION In the late 1970s, the company underwent a major expansion and modernization, highlighted by the addition of The Titan, a 950-foot by 160-foot floating dry dock, complete with attendant pier and services. In 1999, the shipyard underwent another major remodeling and revitalization project. Production shops were renovated, new piers were built, new parking lots were added, office buildings were completely remodeled and extensive landscaping was added to the facility. The most recent enhancement is the acquisition of another dry dock, the 14,000-ton "Old Dominion." FIRST in QUALITY NORSHIPCO is committed to customer satisfaction by providing high-quality work according to customer specifications and expectations.
