In a landmark event for American shipbuilding, Hanwha Philly Shipyard announced a $5 billion infrastructure investment as it hosted the christening of the State of Maine, the third National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) for MARAD. The expansion will add two docks, three quays, and potentially a new block assembly facility, aiming to boost annual production from fewer than two vessels to up to 20. Hanwha also revealed new orders for 10 Jones Act MR tankers and a second LNG carrier, supporting both U.S. fleet renewal and export markets. The State of Maine, destined for Maine Maritime Academy, will serve as a next-generation training ship, reflecting the revitalization of U.S. maritime power through innovation, partnership, and workforce development.
