It was reported in November 2007 that the company has approximately 1,300 employees.[5]
American Shipping Company consists of the shipyard, Aker Philadelphia Shipyard, and the shipping company, American Shipping Corporation (ASC). Aker American Shipping builds merchant vessels for companies[4] operating under the Jones Act, and through its subsidiaries, owns and leases those ships as well.
The Jones Act requires all water transport between US ports to be operated by US-flag ships and requires US-flag ships to be built in US shipyards, owned by US citizens, and operated by an American crew.
History
Aker Philadelphia Shipyard, originally Kværner Philadelphia Shipyard,[6] began as a product of a partnership of public and private investments used to rebuild and convert Шаблон:Convert of the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, which was closed in 1995. After the acquisition of Kværner, Aker took ownership of the yard.
In 2006, Aker Philadelphia Shipyard delivered the final vessel in a four-ship series of containerships to Matson Navigation Company. With that, the yard transitioned to building a series of Veteran Class MT46 double-hulled product tankers for bareboat charter to Overseas Shipholding Group, a build program that extends into 2012.Шаблон:Citation needed
