From our unique position in the heart of the Pacific, we keep Hawai&#8217;i running one project at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Pacific Shipyards International traces its origin to founder Fred Loui, who established Pacific Refrigeration in 1944 to service America&#8217;s wartime fleet. Having received commendation from the Navy for their services, Pacific Refrigeration grew to become the state&#8217;s largest commercial ship repair operation. In recognition of the expanding business operations, in 1954, Pacific Refrigeration changed its name to Pacific Marine and Supply Company, Ltd.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificshipyards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1722-1024x497.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pacificshipyards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1722-1024x497.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pacificshipyards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1722-500x243.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pacificshipyards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1722-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pacificshipyards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1722-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pacificshipyards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1722.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Beginning in the 1970s, under the leadership of Fred&#8217;s son Steven Loui, Pacific Marine started a period of ambitious diversification into new business sectors.
