12 sources · first reported 22d ago
Saronic, a maker of autonomous vessels, has announced plans to build a new $3 billion shipyard in Brownsville, Texas. The shipyard, called Port Alpha, will be the most advanced in the world and will focus on both defense and commercial vessels. The project is expected to create up to 10,000 jobs over the next 10 years.
Why it matters
The new shipyard will supersize Saronic's nautical ambitions and drive a new wave of defense technology, with the company's drone boats making headlines in recent years. The shipyard's focus on both defense and commercial vessels will also have significant implications for the maritime industry.
