The Homer Marine Repair Facility is managed as an "Open Yard" facility, meaning that the vessel owner is responsible for the actual work being performed on their vessel. The City is simply facilitating the opportunity for haul-out and uplands use, and is not responsible for the finished product. This management structure gives the vessel owner the opportunity to manage their project from start-to-finish, contracting with vendors from the Approved Vendor List (provided by the City), or by using their own crew to make the repairs necessary for vessel maintenance.
