Pacific Shipyards International

What Pacific Shipyards International does

Pacific Shipyards International is a private, for-profit shipyard headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, founded in 1944. The company provides ship maintenance, repair, conversion, and modernization services, with documented capability on complex naval platforms including Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. Its primary customer is the U.S. Navy, for which it executes maintenance and modernization work supporting fleet readiness and vessel longevity; a secondary customer is the U.S. Army, pursued through competitive bidding on maritime maintenance contracts. The company's underlying technology is physical shipyard infrastructure and skilled trades workforce specialized in naval vessel repair, rather than a software or product platform.

The business model is professional services revenue earned through U.S. government contracting. Pacific Shipyards secures work via competitive bidding processes with Navy and Army program offices, either directly or in partnership with peer contractors (e.g., its February 2026 teaming arrangement with Marisco for an Army contract). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with negotiated government contract terms. The company operates with a small headcount of 11–50 employees and has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or public listing. Its distribution model is direct enterprise sales to U.S. federal defense buyers, with no commercial or international customer footprint identified in the available data.

Directly comparable as the dominant naval shipbuilding and repair prime competing for the same U.S. Navy maintenance and modernization work Pacific Shipyards pursues.
