TOTE Services LLC, Philly Shipyard Inc., and Texas A&M University at Galveston cut steel in January for the fourth 524′5″×88′7″×55′ national security multimission vessel (NSMV) destined for the Texas A&M Maritime Academy in Galveston, Texas. The Philadelphia-based shipyard will build up to five new ships, with 21′4″ drafts. The fourth NSMV is expected to be delivered in 2025 to Texas A&M Maritime Academy. In 2019, Marad awarded TOTE Services a contract for the NSMV program. The NSMV IV's steel cutting is another major construction milestone for the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration's NSMV program, designed to provide a purpose-built, state-of-the-art training platform for state maritime academies in New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Texas, and California. |
