Southwest Marine, Inc. has recently expanded its San Diego administrative offices. This is the beginning phase of plans to renovate and add to the entire yard.

"Our plans are to not only expand with yards all along the West Coast, but to have the finest, most up-to-date yards in the country," stated Arthur Engel, president of Southwest Marine. The new addition includes computer and accounting facilities on the first floor. Management offices are located on the second floor, with a huge conference and meeting room on the third floor.

Besides San Diego, Southwest Marine has ship repair yards in San Pedro and San Francisco.
