The company will partner with fellow shipbuilder Navantia to pursue contracts to build and equip the installation and support vessels that will be needed to create offshore wind turbine farms.

“As a full service shipyard we’re always looking for commercial work to complement our government work because it keeps labor level in the yard,” said Brett Hershman, director of government relations and business development at NASSCO.Dave Carver, NASSCO’s president, added in a statement, “Based solely on NASSCO’s physical location on the map and our experience managing the high volume of steel this market will require, it makes sense to identify our potential role going forward.

The company’s primary customer is the Navy. NASSCO is currently building Lewis-class Navy fuel ships that are 746 feet long and Expeditionary Sea Base vessels, which are mobile floating piers that extend 785 feet. The shipyard also repairs and modernizes warships, including amphibious assault ships, which are 855 feet long. Over the years, it also has built scores of large fuel tankers and dry cargo ships, some of which have exceeded 900 feet in length.
