en.Wedoany.com Reported - Pacific Shipyards International, LLC (PSI), a subsidiary of Pacific Maritime and Supply Company, has been awarded the repair contract for the USCGC JUNIPER. The 225-foot buoy tender entered PSI's large dry dock, Hoʻōla I Nā Moku, on June 17, 2026, for Fiscal Year 2026 dry dock repairs, with a contract execution period of 120 days.

This repair scope encompasses dry docking, inspection, maintenance, and repair tasks, aimed at ensuring the USCGC JUNIPER maintains continuous operational readiness. This project holds special significance for PSI, as the JUNIPER becomes the first Coast Guard buoy tender to undergo repairs in the Hoʻōla I Nā Moku dry dock.

The USCGC JUNIPER and its crew play a vital role in ensuring safe maritime navigation, with daily operations including the maintenance of buoys and navigation aids used by commercial, military, and recreational vessels. As a multi-mission Coast Guard patrol cutter, it also performs tasks such as navigation assistance, maritime law enforcement, marine environmental protection, homeland defense, military readiness, and search and rescue.

PSI CEO Iain Wood stated that the company is honored to support the U.S. Coast Guard and the crew of the USCGC JUNIPER in this critical repair mission. He noted that this contract is significant for the shipyard as it fills a gap between large Navy repair projects and allows the team to demonstrate the full capabilities of the Hoʻōla I Nā Moku dry dock and its workforce in supporting the readiness of the Coast Guard fleet.

The repair of the USCGC JUNIPER helps bridge PSI's production schedule between the USS WILLIAM P. LAWRENCE SRA and the planned USS FRANK E. PETERSEN JR. SRA, which is set to commence in September.
