BIW named a finalist for Coast Guard deal
The U.S. Coast Guard selected Bath Iron Works as one of three finalists for its Offshore Patrol Cutter program, which aims to build up to 25 ships for around $8.1 billion.
The Bath shipyard emerged from a field of eight bidders and will now compete with the Lockport, La.-based Bollinger Shipyards Inc. and the Panama City, Fla.-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group Inc. by submitting design proposals for the new Coast Guard vessels, according to Marine Log.
Each shipyard received around $22 million from the U.S. Coast Guard Tuesday for the preliminary and contract design services that will determine a final contract winner.
