SUPPORTING NAVY READINESS AND NATIONAL DEFENSE

Founded in 1982, the Port of San Diego serves as a coalition of more than 150 companies in the San Diego region specializing in ship repair, conversion, overhaul, and modernization. The organization was created to promote safety, health, efficiency, and collaboration across the maritime industry. Today, approximately 70% of our work supports the United States Navy and other defense contracts.

OUR MEMBERS

Association member companies deliver a comprehensive range of ship repair and maintenance services that include conversion, overhaul, and specialized trades such as welding, industrial painting, pipefitting, shipfitting, electrical work, sandblasting, carpentry, and rigging. On large-scale projects, member companies frequently collaborate to share labor and resources, ensuring timely and efficient project completion. All work is performed to the highest quality standards, with many members maintaining ISO certifications for quality management and environmental protection. Core priorities include employee and customer safety, environmental stewardship, workforce training, and customer satisfaction.

Often referred to as “invisible patriots,” our member companies play a vital role in supporting the U.S. Navy fleet and strengthening national defense readiness. The industry is a driving force in the San Diego economy, providing more than 14,000 direct and indirect jobs through subcontractors and suppliers.
