About this file
This document is a PowerPoint briefing for the U.S. Coast Guard Yard's Crane Industry Day, scheduled for 13 January 2026, focusing on waterfront infrastructure optimization and crane procurement. The Coast Guard plans to upgrade its Curtis Bay, Maryland shipyard to support new Offshore Patrol Cutters and National Security Cutters arriving in 2030, which requires reconstructing three piers (Pier 2, Pier 3, and South Wharf) and installing new rail-mounted tower cranes. The project involves a design-build approach with specific technical requirements, including a Pier #3 crane objective of lifting 75,000 lbs at a 105-foot shaft and an auxiliary hoist with a 155-foot reach.
The procurement timeline spans from 2026 to 2030, with an estimated 2.2-year process for each crane's planning, design, manufacturing, transportation, and commissioning. The Coast Guard anticipates ordering three cranes simultaneously, with the first crane delivered at 84 weeks, the second at 96 weeks, and the third at 108 weeks. Industry representatives are invited to attend the Industry Day to provide feedback on technical requirements, with registration limited to one representative per company and closing on 29 December 2025. The event will include a project overview, site visit, and optional one-on-one sessions with U.S. Coast Guard technical representatives at 2401 Hawkins Point Rd., Baltimore, Maryland.

CG Yard Service to the Fleet Since 1899 Yard Shiplift Video
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland has operated continuously since 1899 and is the sole USCG-operated shipyard in the United States.
The CG Yard is responsible for construction, repairs and renovation of vessels and various aids to navigation, and for the manufacturing of miscellaneous Coast Guard equipment.
To maintain these capabilities and advancements to their surface fleet, the CG Yard is planning for the arrival, and maintenance and repair of a new class of USCG Cutters (Offshore Patrol Cutter [OPC] and National Security Cutter [NSC]) at the Yard anticipated to arrive in 2030. CG has produced a comprehensive recap plan to align the Yard capabilities with the needs of the future fleet.
The arrival of the new Cutters will require greater water depths, and the CG Yard needs to update its waterfront infrastructure to be capable of supporting and dry-docking these new vessels.
CG has partnered with USACE Baltimore District to execute components of the CG Yard Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Plan (SIOP)

1 Assuming the DBC will need at least 6 months for planning/design of the piers in order to be able to order the cranes?
2 Design & Manufacturing and transport to assembly location in South Central U.S = assume longest phase 3 Assemble crane on barge, prepare for shipment to the CG Yard 4 Transportation to CG Yard (Barge) 5 Installation/Assembly/Testing/Commissioning
Timeline represents the longest duration of if ordering all 3 cranes for each pier 1,2, &3. Email from 12/18/2025: Based on all of the cranes ordered simultaneously, delivery time would be 84 weeks for the first crane, and each subsequent crane would be delivered at 12-week intervals. Crane #1 delivered at 84 weeks, crane #2 delivered at 96 weeks, crane #3 delivered at 108 weeks. Assumes “delivery” is to the assembly location in the U.S. (Seatrax assumed Galveston TX.) For simplicity and ease, going to assume that 1 crane takes 2.2 yrs from start to finish.
Pier 3 Tower Crane support both Floating Drydock and Shiplift Pier #3 objective: 75,000 lbs shaft @ 105ft Aux Hoist Longest Reach: 155ft (to outer wing wall) Pier #3 Lift topmast from EAGLE tall ship that is 150’ above main deck* *Heights do not include drafts, blocks, FDD pontoon, etc.
