Guam - The Guam Shipyard is still trying to get the dry dock known as "Big Blue" floating again.  Shipyard president Mathews Pothen says the company is diligently repairing all the electrical systems including motors and switchboards as well as completing the structural integrity of the tanks to refloat the dry dock with its own dewatering pumps. 

The Shipyard is hoping the facility will be back up in the next two weeks.  The dry dock partially sunk back in early January.
