Philly Shipyard, formerly Aker Philadelphia Shipyard, is a commercial shipyard located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States on part of the site of the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The commercial yard began after the United States Navy had ended most of its operations at the site.
Until being acquired by the Hanwha Group in December 2024,[3] the yard was a company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and was part of the Aker Group controlled by Kjell Inge Røkke. The yard builds Jones Act-compliant ships for domestic shipping, primarily product tankers and container ships.[4]
