Port of Haifa Study: Ship Maintenance
Published Date: May 1, 1993
The Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 1992 directed the Secretary of the Navy to study 'the costs of improving the Port of Haifa, Israel, and facilities in the immediate vicinity, to accommodate the full complement of services required for the maintenance, repair, and associated tasks needed to support a carrier battle group.' The Secretary of the Navy tasked the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to conduct the study. He asked that we address rotationally deployed naval forces to the U.S. Sixth Fleet. This study did not address homeporting in Haifa. We assumed that the Navy would continue to maintain its self-sufficiency. The results of the study as a whole are being published in three parts plus a summary. The parts are harbor services, ship maintenance, and logistics support. This paper summarizes the research on maintenance. CNA was supported in its maintenance research by the NAVSEA Shipbuilding Support Office in Philadelphia, and much of the material in this paper was drawn from their report.
