Innovative project-management systems and training programs have earned the company a reputation for on-time, on-budget work, even on the most difficult repair jobs.Cascade General has taken full advantage of Portland Shipyard's world-class assets, which include the Panamax (114' wide) Dry Dock 3; and Dry Dock 1 serving smaller craft. Dockside, there are 17 Whirley cranes (22-134 tons) 550,000 sq.ft. of covered craft shops and a full complement of state-of-the-art ship repair equipment. A 200,000 barrel, ballast-water, treatment plant is one of many unique assets which the company offers to shipping customers.
