USA: BAE Systems Participates at Houston Offshore Technology Conference

BAE Systems will showcase a range of ship repair capabilities for commercial customers at the 2011 Offshore Technology Conference, May 2-5 at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas.

With more than 5,000 experienced project managers and highly skilled tradespeople, BAE Systems has logged millions of man-hours with proven success in drydock and pierside repairs and in maintenance, overhaul and conversion of a full spectrum of commercial and military vessels. With state-of-the-art ship repair craft shops and fabrication facilities, as well as mobile work teams, no job is too big or too small – from massive cruise ships and container vessels to mega-yachts and tugs. BAE Systems operates six full-service shipyards in Mobile, Alabama; San Francisco and San Diego, California; Jacksonville, Florida; Norfolk, Virginia; and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The company also has satellite ship repair facilities in Mayport, Florida and Moss Point, Mississippi.
