Having worked for both Kvichak and Vigor, all I can say is…sorry Kvichak.

Vigor has bought too many West Coast shipyards. They have become a monopoly. In the PNW.

I was surprised myself to read that today, well not much left except Dakota Creek, Nickles Bros, and Fairhaven, northlake and ludd for large tonnage now.

Nichols Bros for large tonnage? They don’t even have a drydock and launch from a crawler.

They got their cheddar from the US taxpayer by raping the government on haul outs and scheduled maintenance…

Nichols Bros. can launch heavier than Kvichak.
