About
International Ship Repair was founded by Robert Del Valle in 1973 and purchased by George and Carl Lorton in 1990, who added drydock capabilities. In 1997 the yard added conversion capabilities for lengthening and re-powering ships, and in 1998 George Lorton gained sole ownership. Earlier drydocks were retired and replaced by DD#7, DD#8 and the Panamax drydock DD#9/10 as demand for larger vessels grew.
The yard employs up to 200 people in the high season and serves approximately 150 vessels per year. In 2022 it received a MARAD Small Shipyard Grant to add a 36,000 lb forklift, a 50 ft x 20 ft plasma cutting table, a 20-ton overhead crane and 80 welding machines. It operates in compliance with OSHA Shipyard Industry Standards.
