Dry dock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A floating drydock is a specialised ship used in salvage which is constructed with floodable buoyancy chambers in a "U" shaped cross section that can support the hull of a ship needing repair. Some drydocks are used for the construction of large objects such as parts of bridge or dams. For example the drydock of Neeltje-Jans was used for the construction of the Oosterscheldekering, a large dam in the Netherlands consists out of 62 concrete pillars weighing 18000 tonnes each. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dry_dock   (564 words)

SitNews - Remote Alaskan Island Faces Economic Peril Under Proposed Federal Sanctions In TDX's case, the controversy was triggered when a competing Honolulu shipyard complained that TDX planned to keep the drydock in Hawaii, where it would become a job-training platform for Aleuts from a remote island where jobs were few. Until TDX took possession of the large floating drydock in May 2001 in Hawaii, it was mothballed at Pearl Harbor. Even though island residents are working on the drydock in Hawaii, TDX has offered to return it to the federal government as part of a comprehensive settlement in an effort to end the costly legal dispute and prevent further economic harm to the island. www.sitnews.us /0704news/071504/071504_dry_dock.html   (2139 words)

Politics enter drydock dispute - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper TDX claimed in court papers that it told federal officials and the Alaska state government, which was involved in the property transfer, of its intention to leave the drydock in Hawai'i for operation at Marisco and that the plan was approved.
