This is an Overview of the 2002 Report on Survey of the U.S. Shipbuilding and Repair Industry. The Report is the result of the Maritime Administrations (MARAD) 2002 survey of the U.S. marine construction and repair industry. The shipyard classifications and definitions are based on the joint U.S. Navy and MARAD 1982 Shipyard Mobilization Base Analysis (SYMBA). SYMBA established 1982 as the base year for subsequent annual studies and determined that only facilities with build or repair positions 375 feet (114 meters) or greater would be included in the Major Shipbuilding and Repair Base. This shipyard capability parameter was increased to 400 feet (122 meters) in 1985. The term Major Shipbuilding and Repair Base used in this Overview is synonymous with the Shipyard Mobilization Base referred to in the SYMBA. There are, of course, many more shipyards active in shipbuilding than those described in this Overview, please note that only those shipyard facilities which meet the above definition have been included. During 2002, the Major Shipbuilding and Repair Base saw an increase of one shipyard, a decrease of two shipbuilding or repair positions and a decrease of approximately 2,000 production workers.
