美海军首艘中型登陆舰建造商选定:2.69亿美元合同落户费城造船厂

费城——韩华防务美国公司(Hanwha Defense USA)10月30日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿(Arlington)宣布,该公司已被船舶建造管理方TOTE Services选定,为美国海军与海军陆战队建造首艘中型登陆舰(LSM)。合同金额2.69亿美元,建造工作将在位于宾夕法尼亚州费城(Philadelphia)的韩华费城造船厂进行,另含3艘后续舰的选购权。
这是韩华防务美国公司首次拿到为美国海军建造舰艇的合同。按计划,首舰将于2027年第四季度开工,项目首艘中型登陆舰预计2030年交付。TOTE Services今年7月赢得海军22亿美元的船舶建造管理(VCM)合同,负责为海军与海军陆战队计划中的35艘中型登陆舰舰队组织建造;TOTE今年7月向合格的美国造船厂发出竞标邀请,韩华是经竞标程序选出的第一家建造商,与Bollinger造船厂、Fincantieri Marinette Marine两家指定造船厂的合同谈判仍在进行。
中型登陆舰以荷兰达门(Damen)LST-100设计为蓝本,舰长100米、宽16米,轻排水量约2,687吨,航程约7,400公里,任务是在岛屿与沿海地带之间运送海军陆战队人员、车辆与装备,支撑美军在印度—太平洋地区的分布式作战。
韩华防务美国公司总裁兼首席执行官Michael Coulter表示,自2024年收购费城造船厂以来,韩华持续投入人力与技术,为建造美国海军舰艇做准备,公司期待与TOTE Services合作、按时按预算交付。TOTE Services总裁Jeff Dixon表示,竞标程序为政府争取到了有力的合同条件,并落实了2027年第四季度开工的建造船位。韩华费城造船厂此前已按同一船舶建造管理模式,为美国海事管理局建造并交付了4艘国家安全多任务船。
Hanwha Philly Shipyard Wins $269 Million Contract to Build US Navy's First Medium Landing Ship
Philadelphia — Hanwha Defense USA announced on October 30 in Arlington, Virginia, that it has been selected by TOTE Services, the U.S. Navy's vessel construction manager, to build the first Medium Landing Ship (LSM) for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The contract is valued at $269 million and covers construction of one ship at Hanwha Philly Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with options for three additional vessels.
The award is Hanwha Defense USA's first contract to build ships for the U.S. Navy. Construction is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2027, and the program's first vessel is expected to be delivered in 2030. TOTE Services won the Navy's $2.2 billion Vessel Construction Manager (VCM) contract in July, supporting the Navy and Marine Corps' planned fleet of 35 LSMs. Hanwha is the first shipbuilder selected through the competitive process TOTE launched in July; discussions with directed shipyards Bollinger Shipyards and Fincantieri Marinette Marine are continuing.
Based on the Dutch Damen LST-100 design, the LSM is 100 meters long and 16 meters wide, with a light displacement of about 2,687 tons and a range of some 7,400 kilometers. It is designed to move Marines, vehicles and equipment between islands and coastal areas, supporting distributed operations in the Indo-Pacific.
"Since acquiring Philly Shipyard in 2024, Hanwha has made significant investments in its workforce and technology to pave the way to build ships for the U.S. Navy and other federal customers," said Michael Coulter, president and CEO of Hanwha Defense USA. TOTE Services President Jeff Dixon said the competitive process secured strong terms for the government, along with build positions that allow construction to start in the fourth quarter of 2027. Hanwha Philly Shipyard previously built and delivered four National Security Multi-Mission Vessels under the same VCM model for the U.S. Maritime Administration.
