  • Aker Philadelphia Shipyard, formerly Kværner Philadelphia Shipyard, is a shipyard located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States on the site of the defunct Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, which closed in 1995. The yard is part of Aker American Shipping, a company listed on Oslo Stock Exchange and part of the Aker Group controlled by Kjell Inge Røkke. The yard has a close cooperation with Aker Yards. The yard targets producing ships within the Jones Act for domestic shipping, primarily product tankers and container ships. The yard was started as a cooperation between Kværner and the City of Philadelphia, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Government of the United States. Rebuilt and opened in 2000, the yard delivered its first ship in 2003: MV Manukai, a container cargo ship for Matson Line and the first of four identical sisters built for Matson through 2006. In 2005, control of the yard passed to Aker, which bought the troubled Kværner firm. Aker Philadelphia delivered the first of 10 planned oil products tankers to Shell Oil in February 2007. The 10 ships are being built for Aker American Shipping, the yard's immediate parent company, and will be leased out to various operators, including Shell Oil. The tanker contracts will keep the yard fully booked through 2012.
