For Immediate Release – September 5, 2018:
Phoenix International Holdings, Inc. (Phoenix) is pleased to announce successful completion of our Virginia Ship Repair Association (VSRA) Quality Audit.
The VRSA Quality audit, which is similar in format to an ISO 9001 audit, verifies compliance with U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) requirements, thereby certifying the quality of prime and subcontractors working on U.S. naval vessels. This auditing process helps to ensure that naval ships and their crews are able to fulfill their missions with minimal repair and maintenance downtime.
The Virginia Ship Repair Association (VSRA) is a regional trade association representing over 250 companies engaged in, or supporting, the ship repair industry in Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic region, and Phoenix International has been a member since 2005.
Phoenix International, using an in-house team of engineers, divers, and welders developed and executed a unique repair that allowed the vessel to continue its transit down the river and across the Atlantic to offload cargo at the scheduled discharge port before continuing to drydock for permanent repairs.
