In October, the heavy lift vessel Tern arrived in San Francisco and picked up the Port of San Francisco’s Drydock #1 for towing to a green-certified ship recycling facility near Shanghai, China. The drydock’s departure represented the last phase of 15 years of efforts to find a final resting place for Drydock #1, which was declared unfit for service in 1999. Tern lifted the 4,200-ton Drydock #1 out of the water on Saturday, October 18 at approximately 9:00 a.m.
