SAN DIEGO – On Monday, January 18, NASSCO shipbuilders signaled the start of construction for a new prime line at NASSCO, replacing the original line installed more than 40 years ago.
Vital to the shipbuilding process, the prime line is where shipbuilding begins at NASSCO. The new line will operate about 30 percent faster, improve our blast and paint quality, handle larger plates, and eliminate nearly all sources of emission – creating a more efficient and environmentally sound process.
San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox and Unified Port of San Diego Chairman Marshall Merrifield attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
