Saronic Unveils Port Alpha: $3B Texas Yard Aims to Build 850‑Foot Vessels
Saronic announced Port Alpha, a $3+ billion greenfield shipyard in Brownsville, Texas, designed to produce vessels up to 850 feet (and potentially larger in future) for both commercial and military use, with construction slated to begin in 2026 and operations by 2028. The project, meant to boost U.S. shipbuilding capacity and reduce reliance on government R&D, is expected to generate substantial regional economic impact and thousands of jobs, while Saronic continues to develop its fleet of USVs like Corsair, Mirage, and Marauder for Navy evaluation and potential deployment.
