Austal USA has won one of the biggest contracts the Mobile-based shipyard has ever received.
Austal USA President Rusty Murdaugh, left, and Director of Manufacturing Neil Seddon, right, discuss the process that will be used in the company's new steel shipbuilding facility. The two spoke at an opening celebration in April. At the end of June, Austal USA won a Coast Guard steel shipbuilding contract potentially worth $3.3 billion.
In March 2020 the Coast Guard gave study contracts to nine other companies, including Austal. The Coast Guard hasn’t said how many actually submitted bids -- only that Austal had the winning proposal. “The offshore patrol cutter is absolutely vital to Coast Guard mission excellence as we recapitalize our legacy medium endurance cutters, some of which are more than 50 years old,” Adm. Linda Fagan, commandant of the Coast Guard, said in a statement released by the service. “The OPCs are the ships our crews need to protect our national security, maritime safety and economic prosperity. I look forward to the new cutters joining our fleet.
