A New Home Port for the Lab's Vessels

The 70-year-old APL-UW research vessel dock has been replaced with a modern and safe modular floating dock. As supporting infrastructure for the research fleet, the dock is a critical component of the Laboratory's ability to design, develop, and test sensors, instruments, and platforms at sea that will ultimately be deployed in the world's oceans to conduct sponsored research.
The dock's proximity to Laboratory and University facilities makes transfers of personnel and research equipment from shore to ship seamless. The investment in this critical facility underscores the commitment of APL-UW leadership to sustain the Lab's core competencies and strategize for future growth.
Special thanks to these APL-UW people and their partners, whose work made this facilities upgrade possible: Eric Boget, Nick Michel-Hart, Larry Joireman, Autumn Salazar, Mark Perez, Dian Gay, and Kevin Williams, and Redside Construction, LLC, The Watershed Company, UW Real Estate, David Consulting Group, Inc., and EA Engineering, Science and Technology, Inc.
