Description

Description

The MASGA (Make American Shipbuilding Great Again) project is a South Korea-U.S. shipbuilding cooperation initiative aimed at rebuilding the U.S. Navy by collaborating with South Korean shipbuilders. The project involves building National Security Multi-Mission Vessels (NSMV) at the Philadelphia Shipyard acquired by Hanwha Ocean, with plans to invest $10 billion in defense in Pennsylvania and create over 4,000 jobs. South Korean companies like HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hanwha Ocean, and Samsung Heavy Industries are preparing for collaboration under this project. Legal and regulatory hurdles remain, including the need for U.S. legislative changes to allow foreign construction of Navy vessels, but there is hope that executive authority may permit exceptions.
