YARD CONSIDERATIONS AND CAPABILITIES FOR WORK ASSIGNMENT
1. The YARD is considered a center of excellence in the quality and environment fields and
has recently received both ISO 9001 recertification and ISO14001 registration.
2. Theses certifications along with many other process improvement and quality awards,
distinguish the YARD's fleet support capabilities. These capabilities are typically
provided in partnership with the Engineering Logistics Center and the Maintenance and
Logistics Commands as part of our overall Integrated Logistics Infrastructure and include
the following: New construction of cutters and boats; repair, retrofit, and renovation of
cutters and boats and various aids to navigation; manufacture of unique Coast Guard
items; essential engineering, logistics and technical information support; industrial
planning and estimating support; industrial experience to the naval engineering
community; casualty response support to the fleet; design and production engineering;
electronic equipment installation and overhaul; establishing and maintaining component
reparable Production lines; and prototype development. In addition, the YARD is
certified by the Naval Sea Systems Command as a Limited Repair Facility for Coast
Guard operated, Navy-owned ordnance.
3. The YARD is also the host facility for the Engineering Logistics Center, Activities
Baltimore, USCGC JAMES RANKIN, USCGC SLEDGE, Station Curtis Bay, and
numerous Coast Guard detachments. Over 1600 personnel depend on the YARD's
support personnel to provide a wide spectrum of community services. This role which is
independent of the YARD's Industrial activities enables the YARD to offer visiting
cutters a broad spectrum of shore support services not found at commercial shipyards
(e.g., full support gym, MWR, swimming pool, tennis courts, ball fields, boating marina,
exchange, onsite medical and dental).
