Vigor currently operates four shipyards, in the Pacific Northwest:

More content to potentially merge:

Originally, the Coast Guard wanted to acquire 25 Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPC) and spend about $8 billion for them. In April 2013, it was reported that Vigor proposed an Ulstein X-bow hull in the design competition for the OPC vessels.[1] If successful in landing the contract, Vigor would have assembled the vessels at its Portland, Ore., shipyard. However, in February 2014, the USCG announced that Bollinger Shipyards, Eastern Shipbuilding, and General Dynamics Bath Iron Works had been awarded design contracts for the OPC.[2]

Zeibgeist I wonder if the sentence starting "In 2006, Vigor Industrial established..." would fit better under "Expansion and acquisitions"? "Expansion and acquisitions" could also benefit from a summary sentence at the beginning, something like "From 2006 to 2019, Vigor Industrial went through a period of growth, using expansions and acquisitions to broaden their footprint in the Pacific Northwest."

Hi Braines123, thank you for your comments! When I added the "Expansion and acquisitions" header I was thinking thinking more about expansion outside of Portland, where the company was established, but I see your point about how the paragraph on U.S. Barge might fit better under that header. I also agree with you that the section is a bit choppy and could benefit from a summary sentence. The more fluid prose in the earlier sections is mainly due to this this comprehensive article from the International Directory of Company Histories, which allowed me to tie things together without engaging in original research. Post-2010, there aren't really any sources (at least that I've found) that provide a broad summary of the company's activities—just news articles that focus on a particular acquisition or other specific occurrence. In situations like this, strictly adhering to Wikipedia's policy against original research can result in some choppy prose, since editors don't want to synthesize sources to make claims that are broader/more generalized than those that are made in any particular source. With that being said, I don't think a simple summary sentence at the beginning of a section is prohibited by policy; I personally just tend to air on the side of caution so as not to make any claims that aren't directly attributable to a particular source.

Thanks for expanding on the synthesizing sources -- I see the advantage of erring on the side of not synthesizing! A little choppy language is fine. Braines123 (talk) 23:06, 20 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
