All shipyards, shipbuilders & docks in North America West Coast

The area comprises the west coast of the United States and Canada as well as Alaska and Mexico. Contrary to the East Coast of the U.S. the shipyards are concentrated on a few places only whereas the Navy business plays a significant role as well. With Nassco of General Dynamics and BAE Systems Ship Repair two strong industrial groups are part of the shipyard industry at the west coast. Vigor Industrial is another major local player with twelve sites in the Northwest and Alaska. The Seaspan Group alone is running three shipyards at the Canadian west coast: Vancouver Drydocks (with two drydocks of 36,000 dwt and 30,000 dwt), Vancouver Shipyards and Victoria Shipyards (utilising the state owned graving dock for vessels up to 100,000 dwt at Vancouver Island) which is the biggest repair facility at the Canadian west coast.
