SUPPORTING NAVY READINESS AND NATIONAL DEFENSE

Founded in 1982, the Port of San Diego serves as a coalition of more than 150 companies in the San Diego region specializing in ship repair, conversion, overhaul, and modernization. The organization was created to promote safety, health, efficiency, and collaboration across the maritime industry. Today, approximately 70% of its work supports the United States Navy and other defense contracts.
