Austal USA expands service footprint

Austal USA has opened a new facility in San Diego as it looks to expand its service and support business.

The new location will be largely dedicated to providing service work for the US Navy’s Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) and Expeditionary Fast Transports (EPF), and will serve as a base of operations on the West Coast for Austal USA.

Austal is in full rate production for the LCS programme, and is prime contractor for the EPF programme.

Craig Perciavalle, president, Austal USA, said: ‘Today’s opening is a direct reflection of the company’s commitment to provide the US Navy, not only exceptional ships, but outstanding service and support for the life of the ship.

‘With nine EPF ships and eight Independence-variant LCS delivered to the navy, and many more to follow, this expansion increases our ability to support our ships beyond delivery and as they deploy.’
