Dear Mr. Elliott,
We would like to take this opportunity to express our satisfaction with the outstanding service the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson received from Bay Ship & Yacht’s skilled and knowledgeable employees. Dyson officers, engineers, crew and our port engineers were all impressed with the dedication that each worker showed toward the many different repairs that the Dyson received. Please relay our appreciation to the managers, leads, technicians and crew that helped make the Oscar Dyson a safer and better ship to serve its task of fisheries and oceanographic research in the demanding operational environment of the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. Sincerely, Jeff Hokkanen Chief Marine Engineer NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson CDR Michael J. Hoshlyk, NOAA Commanding Officer NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson “The project manager I was assigned did a fantastic job. He explained the process to me very well and met our tight schedule date, even with a lot of additional, and very much needed, hull repairs. The Bay Ship workers are all very skilled at their jobs and didn’t mind all the questions I asked about chine, rake and guard doublers. The end result is that my ship is in good shape again, plus I met some really great people and learned a ton in the process.”
David Mik Port Engineer “P.E. Material Barge” “Another typically excellent job turned in by the folks at Bay Ship. We’re always happy to bring our vessels to them and look forward to working with them again in the future. They are a company extremely committed to customer satisfaction and superior quality work. Thanks for your continued excellence!”
Mark Blanchard Port Engineer “Clean Bay II” (166-foot spill response vessel) “The Bay Ship & Yacht Co. is a very clean and organized place, which is refreshing after some of the shipyards I’ve seen. All the materials they need to get the work done are located right there at the dry berth. As such, their efficiency is a thing to behold. Their entire workforce is also very professional, hardworking and interested in doing a quality job. My special thanks to all of them for a great effort and a job well done!”
