SHIPYARDS
People who worked in Navy shipyards or who served in the Navy while their ship was repaired, overhauled, constructed or decommissioned in a shipyard probably suffered the heaviest asbestos exposures during the 1940s through the 1970s, the peak years of asbestos use. Asbestos was also widely used on commercial maritime vessels and in private, commercial shipyards. We have compiled an enormous amount of information about asbestos use on board ships and at shipyards, and have listed here the major shipyards at which asbestos was used. If you have any questions about asbestos used aboard ship or at any of these shipyards, please contact us. Click on your state below or scroll down the list.
