Samsung Heavy Joins U.S. Navy NGLS Design
Samsung Heavy Industries said Wednesday it will join conceptual design of the U.S. Navy’s Next Generation Logistics Ship (NGLS), partnering with General Dynamics NASSCO and DSEC through March 2027. The program plans at least 13 ships; Samsung will focus on hull-form design using a 400-meter towing tank and deploy its automated pipe-spool fabrication for U.S. expansion. The move ties to its MASGA U.S. strategy and MRO ambitions.
