ESG missed its April 2024 delivery for OPC 2. The Coast Guard stopped work on OPCs 3 and 4 after ESG notified the service earlier this year they could not fulfill their contractual duty to deliver all four OPCs without unabsorbable loss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration is unwavering in its commitment to the American taxpayer and to a strong, ready Coast Guard,\u201d said a senior Homeland Security official. \u201cWe cannot allow critical shipbuilding projects to languish over budget and behind schedule. Our Coast Guard needs modern, capable vessels to safeguard our national and economic security, and we will ensure every dollar is spent wisely to achieve that mission. This action redirects resources to where they are most needed, ensuring the Coast Guard remains the finest, most-capable maritime service in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Coast Guard\u2019s goal is to procure 25 OPCs \u2014 and that has not changed,\u201d said the DHS announcement. \u201cThe Coast Guard remains intent on acquiring and delivering the full OPC class as fast as possible to address the nation\u2019s security and safety needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Read the full announcement <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Iq1XEW\">HERE<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/shipbuilding\/shipyards\/shipyard-news\/noem-cancels-contracts-with-esg-for-two-offshore-patrol-cutters\/\">Noem cancels contracts with ESG for two Offshore Patrol Cutters<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Nick Blenkey<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/shipbuilding\/shipyards\/shipyard-news\/noem-cancels-contracts-with-esg-for-two-offshore-patrol-cutters\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=noem-cancels-contracts-with-esg-for-two-offshore-patrol-cutters\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noem cancels contracts with ESG for two Offshore Patrol Cutters Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Friday that she was canceling the contracts for two of the four U.S. Coast Guard Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPCs) on order at Eastern Shipbuilding Group.
