Each year, WorkBoat Magazine and WorkBoat.com survey shipyards nationwide to map out America’s shipbuilding activity — tracking vessels under contract, in construction, and newly delivered across the commercial and government sectors.
The 2025 Shipyard Construction Survey reveals key trends shaping the U.S. maritime industry, from workforce capacity and yard utilization to the evolving balance between commercial and military contracts. It’s an essential benchmark for shipbuilders, vessel owners, naval architects, and marine suppliers who need to understand where U.S. ship construction is headed next.
Get a data-driven view of the nation’s shipyard output and insights into the forces driving growth and contraction across critical vessel categories.
