Strategic Investment in U.S. Shipbuilding

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBBA) represents one of the largest federal commitments to the U.S. maritime sector in decades—offering new opportunities for owners, operators, and investors. This investment signals a strong foundation for U.S.-built tonnage, expanded yard throughput, and a more robust maritime ecosystem—critical for long-term asset planning, charter strategy, and capital allocation.

  • $29B for new vessel construction, including advanced surface ships, submarines, and unmanned platforms

  • $23B+ to modernize U.S. Coast Guard infrastructure—enhancing maritime safety, security, and support

  • Capital directed toward expanding domestic shipyard capacity and modernizing marine supply chains

Incentives for autonomous systems, vessel innovation, and workforce development. For maritime stakeholders looking ahead, this is a moment to watch.
