Vigor Marine Completes Empress of the North Repairs

The Empress of the North left Vigor Marine's shipyard with all repairs successfully and safely completed. The project went smoothly, with no unexpected findings over the course of the job. The work package for the dry docking included steel repairs, hull coating, and general inspections. Vigor Marine was able to complete the steel renewals four days ahead of schedule without incident or injury. The Empress of the North will travel to Juneau in preparation for her return to service on July 7. The ship will make 11 roundtrip sailings from July through September.
