Seattle, Washington-based Foss Maritime, a division of Saltchuk Resources and the largest tug, towing, and maritime consultancy on the West Coast, has announced that it is closing its North Queen Anne shipyard located in Seattle, Washington, and laying off 115 workers.
Work at the shipyard ended October 30, 2021, and layoffs will be effective December 29, 2021. Operations, including the construction, conversion, maintenance, and repair of vessels will be transferred to other Pacific Northwest shipyards.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
