It was a pleasure hosting Senators Joe Picozzi and Tina Tartaglione at Hanwha Philly Shipyard to showcase how we are helping drive jobs, innovation, and workforce development in Philadelphia.

I had the opportunity to visit the Navy Yard with Senator Tina Tartaglione and see firsthand how an area once expected to close down years ago has been transformed into a vibrant, thriving epicenter for jobs and innovation.

We had great conversations about workforce development, the importance of CTE programs in our schools, and how building strong talent pipelines helps attract employers and investment to Philadelphia.

The Navy Yard is proof of what’s possible when we invest in people, partnerships, and long-term growth. Thank you to Hanwha Philly Shipyard and PIDC for the tour and for the incredible work you’re doing to help move our city forward.

Yesterday at the Shipyard, we were proud to celebrate not one, but two major milestones for Matson!

Dock mounting was successfully completed for Malama, bringing the vessel one step closer to completion. At the same time, steel cutting officially began for Makena, marking the start of construction on one of the newest Aloha Class LNG-fueled containerships.

Moments like these reflect the strength of our workforce, the precision of our craft, and the continued progress of our shipbuilding program. We’re honored to support Matson in delivering the next generation of vessels and advancing more efficient, sustainable maritime operations.
