Building a new shipyard from THE GROUND UP

摘要

Kvaerner's Philadelphia shipyard has come a long way since 1997, when Kvaerner ASA, based in Norway, decided to build a modern commercial shipyard on the site of the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The goal was simple but risky: Build ships for the U.S.-flag Jones Act market and focus on containerships and tankers. Taking those risks has paid off, as the yard has developed into one of the busiest commercial yards in the United States.
