About Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc.
Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc., headquartered in Panama City, Florida, is an established for-profit shipbuilder specializing in the construction and repair of vessels for federal agencies. As a Subchapter S Corporation registered with the federal government since August 2001, the company provides critical maritime infrastructure services to support U.S. military readiness and coastal operations. Eastern Shipbuilding Group has demonstrated substantial capability in delivering complex naval construction projects while simultaneously participating in federal grant programs designed to modernize shipyard facilities and enhance operational efficiency.
Eastern Shipbuilding Group's most significant federal contract award is a $258.5 million firm fixed price definitive contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District, awarded on July 24, 2023. Under this contract, the company is designing, constructing, testing, and delivering a new Medium Class Hopper Dredge to replace the aging MCFARLAND vessel at its Panama City Beach facility, with a completion date of November 17, 2027. The dredge will feature a 5,000 to 6,000 cubic yard hopper capacity, diesel-electric propulsion, and autonomous 18-day operational capability at depths up to 65 feet. This substantial capital investment reflects the Corps of Engineers' commitment to modernizing its dredging fleet, with the completed vessel to be homeported in Philadelphia and operated in Ready Reserve status along the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts. The contract contained no small business set-aside designation and leverages Eastern Shipbuilding's established experience with federal maritime construction projects.
Eastern Shipbuilding Group has received two prime federal grant awards through the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration's Assistance to Small Shipyards program (CFDA 20.814), totaling over $820,000. The first grant, awarded April 26, 2021, provided $522,318 to acquire industrial lift trucks, telehandlers, articulating boom lifts, and a compact track loader to enhance ship construction efficiency and quality at the Panama City Beach facility during the April 2021 through April 2023 grant period. The second and most recent grant, awarded August 19, 2025, is supporting the purchase and installation of a 10-foot plate shear to foster efficiency, competitive operations, and quality ship construction capabilities at the shipyard, with a completion date of August 18, 2027. Both grants are designed to improve domestic shipbuilding infrastructure and enhance employee skills and productivity, demonstrating the Maritime Administration's continued support of Eastern Shipbuilding's capital equipment modernization efforts.
