The art of shipbuilding has been around for years and years with shipyards across the United States building and delivering top notch vessels for both government and commercial use. In this session, we sit down with three shipyard executives who will discuss shipyard market outlooks, project capabilities, workforce hurdles, the Small Shipyard Grant Program and more. One of the most important topics facing these three yards is the amount of funds and availability of the Small Shipyard Grant Program.
Questions we explore:
- How has the Small Shipyard Grant Program affected you all over the years?
- What needs to be done in order to push for more funding?
- Are you seeing workforce hurdles subsiding?
- How are your yards doing with project capacities? Are there enough contracts keeping you busy?
