SEATTLE, WASHINGTON...December 2, 2010...Todd Shipyards Corporation (NYSE:TOD) announced that the U.S. Navy (“Navy”) has awarded to its wholly owned subsidiary, Todd Pacific Shipyards Corporation (“Todd Pacific” or the “Company”), a $3,739,714.00 modification to previously awarded contract N00024-08-C-4416. This contract modification represents an exercised option for the Docking Planned Incremental Availability (“DPIA”) for USS NIMITZ (CVN68) (“NIMITZ”), at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard which will commence in January 2011 and is expected to be complete in December 2011. This modification represents the authorization of additional repairs and alterations of various ship’s systems and equipment throughout the aircraft carrier NIMITZ, and is a portion of the work to be completed by Todd Pacific during the overhaul period. The Company anticipates that additional work on the carrier will be definitized by the Navy, resulting in total contract modifications in the range of $31-36 million.
Todd’s work in support of the DPIA of the NIMITZ is being performed pursuant to the Company’s five-year Multi-Ship Multi-Option (“MSMO”) contract with the Navy for the overhaul and continued maintenance of the aircraft carriers stationed at Bremerton and Everett, Washington. The cost-type MSMO contract was awarded to Todd Pacific in 1999 and 2004 for five years each, and was awarded again in 2008 for an additional five years.
Todd Pacific performs a substantial amount of repair and maintenance work on commercial and federal government vessels and provides new construction and industrial fabrication services for a wide variety of customers. Its customers include the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, NOAA, the Washington State Ferry system, the Alaska Marine Highway System, and various other commercial and governmental customers. Todd has operated a shipyard in Seattle since 1916.
