Bollinger Shipyards has reached final contract terms with the U.S. Coast Guard to begin production on the Arctic Security Cutter program. The yard said the agreement advances the program and will use a design already selected by close allies and an established supply chain.
Bollinger Shipyards has named Commander Mark Matta, USCG (Ret.), as director of programs and Captain Peter Morisseau, USCG (Ret.), as Arctic Security Cutter program manager. The appointments come after the yard was selected to design and build six Arctic Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard with an international team using a Multi-Purpose Icebreaker design.
Bollinger Shipyards, Rauma Marine Constructions, Seaspan Shipyards and Aker Arctic have formed a strategic partnership to pursue the U.S. Coast Guard’s Arctic Security Cutter program. The group says it would aim to deliver the first vessel within 36 months of award.
