The document summarizes a presentation about prospects and challenges for increasing the size of the US Navy fleet. It discusses the Navy's shipbuilding plans which call for smaller fleet sizes than studies recommend. Building a larger fleet faces challenges including high costs, cost overruns in ship programs, difficulties designing and building new classes of ships, and stress on the industrial base. Maintaining a larger fleet over decades would require significant increases in the Navy's budget.
Presentation by Eric J. Labs, an analyst in CBO’s National Security Division, to the Bank of America 2022 Defense Outlook and Commercial Aerospace Forum.
As the Navy prepares a new force structure assessment, CBO has examined three kinds of risks to the Navy’s plan to build a 355-ship fleet. Those risks arise from budgetary pressure, growth in the costs of building new ships, and uncertainty about the design of future ships. CBO has also provided some illustrations of alternative approaches to building the Navy’s amphibious warfare and surface combatant forces.
This document summarizes a presentation by Eric J. Labs from the Congressional Budget Office about Navy ship construction. It discusses shipbuilding under the Budget Control Act, the Navy's 2016 and 2019 shipbuilding plans, and the prospects of achieving a 355-ship fleet. It also analyzes the costs of the Navy's plans and factors like budget levels, ship types, and service life extensions that could impact achieving fleet size goals.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Eric J. Labs at the Surface Navy Association's 34th National Symposium on January 13, 2022. The presentation discussed congressional perspectives on Navy shipbuilding and the Navy's 2022 shipbuilding plan. It analyzed the Navy's goals for ship numbers, funding levels provided by Congress compared to administration requests, potential costs of the 2022 plan, and options for reducing large surface combatant forces.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Eric J. Labs at the 37th Annual Spring Meeting of the Marine Machinery Association on February 23, 2022 about prospects for building a larger US Navy fleet. It discusses recent Navy force structure assessments and shipbuilding plans that call for a larger fleet of 321 to 372 manned ships and up to 140 unmanned ships by 2035. However, the Navy's shipbuilding plans would require average annual costs of $25.3 billion to $32.7 billion, significantly more than appropriations over the past five years. To support a larger fleet, the Navy will need large and sustained increases to its overall budget.

Presentation by Eric Labs, CBO’s Senior Analyst for Naval Forces and Weapons, at the 2017 Defense Outlook Forum.
Over the next 30 years, the Navy’s 2017 shipbuilding plan would cost 30 percent more than the service has received historically, CBO estimates. If future Navy shipbuilding budgets are in line with those over the past 30 years, the Navy’s fleet will be about 20 percent smaller in 2046 than under the Navy’s plan. A larger fleet of around 350 ships could cost about 60 percent more per year than average historical shipbuilding budgets.
Under the Budget Control Act, funding for naval ship construction has increased significantly above historical averages. In December 2016, the Navy released a new force structure assessment that called for building a 355-ship fleet. CBO estimates that construction costs for the Navy’s 2019 shipbuilding plan would average $28.9 billion (in 2018 dollars) per year over the next 30 years, which is 80 percent more than what the Navy has spent, on average, over the past 30 years. With service life extensions of existing ships, that plan would achieve a fleet of 355 ships by the 2030s.
Presentation by Eric Labs, a senior analyst for naval forces and weapons in CBO’s National Security Division, at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Defense Outlook Forum.
CBO estimates that the Navy’s 2020 shipbuilding plan would cost an average of $31 billion per year (in 2019 dollars) over 30 years. Under the plan, the fleet would grow from 290 ships today to the Navy’s overall goal of 355 in 2034 but would fall short of the Navy’s specific goals for some types of ships. In particular, the Navy’s plan would increase the amphibious warfare force from the current 32 ships to a high of 38 ships by 2026. A larger fleet would lead to higher operation and support costs.
The document discusses the Jones Act, which regulates domestic maritime shipping in the US. It summarizes arguments that the Heritage Foundation and others have made claiming the Jones Act increases shipping costs. However, the document argues these claims are not substantiated and ignores market factors like supply and demand that actually drive shipping rates. Backtesting of shipping routes and costs between the US Gulf Coast and East Coast do not show a significant difference in rates between Jones Act and foreign-flagged vessels. The economics of supply and demand in the US-flagged tanker market, including the limited fleet size, help explain current rate levels.

Shipping U.S. Crude Oil by Water: Vessel Flag Requirements and Safety Issues GE 94
The document discusses the increase in domestic waterborne shipping of crude oil in the United States due to new sources of production. It raises concerns about the safety of tankers and barges moving oil and the impact of the Jones Act, which restricts domestic shipping to U.S.-built and crewed vessels. The higher costs of Jones Act compliant ships has resulted in some oil being shipped from Texas to Canadian, not U.S., refineries. Proposed legislation aims to study improving competitiveness of the U.S.-flag industry and oil spill response.
Enhancing Warfighter Capability Through a Multi-Faceted Operational Energy Ap...Tom Sullivan
This document discusses operational energy and enhancing warfighter capability through more efficient energy use. It addresses how fluctuating fuel prices significantly impact the Navy's budgets. The Navy consumes large amounts of fuel daily and relies on global supply chains that are vulnerable. New technologies requiring large energy use will further strain fuel capacity unless efficiency improves. The document advocates for an energy management information system to track use, validate savings from efficiency measures, and inform technology and ship design. It also argues that operational commanders should employ energy-efficient tactics like optimized escort patterns and exercise planning to reduce unnecessary fuel use during daily operations.
The document discusses issues facing the container shipping industry due to falling bunker fuel prices. It notes that research shows slow steaming may no longer save costs as fuel prices have dropped significantly from a year ago. This could lead shipping lines to consider speeding up vessels instead of using as many ships at slower speeds. However, many factors would need to be considered in making this decision and shipowners have generally preferred slow steaming to manage excess capacity. The lower fuel costs may also allow some adjustment of shipping routes and vessel usage.
This document summarizes LNG-fueled ships currently in operation and on order worldwide as of November 2012. It shows that 34 LNG-fueled ships were in operation, primarily car/passenger ferries and platform supply vessels owned by European shipping companies. It also lists 31 new LNG-fueled ships on order between 2012-2014, including more car/passenger ferries, tugboats, and platform supply vessels for European and North American owners. The ships are classified by various international maritime classification societies.
The Canadian marine industry generated over $3.1 billion in sales and employed 11,100 people in 2014. Over half of domestic sales are related to the Canadian federal government. Key opportunities for the industry include shipbuilding contracts under the National Shipbuilding Strategy, which will see Irving Shipbuilding, Seaspan, and Davie build new ships for the Coast Guard and Navy over the next decades. The aging Canadian Coast Guard fleet also provides opportunities for ship replacements. With over 55 million ferry passengers annually, the Canadian ferry sector additionally offers opportunities as older ferries are due for replacement in the 2020s.

This document provides an agenda and background information for the Federal Marine Procurement Outlook Session at the Mari-Tech Conference in Montreal from April 19-21, 2017. The agenda outlines presentations from various government departments on federal contracting processes, leveraging procurement for industrial benefits, and marine procurement outlooks from the Canadian Coast Guard, Department of National Defence, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The document provides context on initiatives like the National Shipbuilding Strategy and desired outcomes of informing industry and receiving feedback.
This study was commissioned by MARAD (US government) and conducted by DNV GL.
The study looks at the LNG bunkering of ships in US, so that LNG use as fuel for ships can be developed further.
The report was released to the public by MARAD in September 2014 and hence you can find it here.
This document discusses alternative fuels for shipping, including LNG. It notes that regulations are driving a need for cleaner fuels with lower sulfur content. LNG produces significantly lower emissions than conventional fuels and is increasingly seen as a viable option. However, infrastructure needs to be developed further for LNG to be widely used. The document provides an overview of various alternative fuels and the challenges to adopting new fuels, such as high costs and lack of infrastructure.

This document provides an analysis of Pakistan's LNG import project and identifies potential issues and losses totaling over $13 billion. It outlines four main areas of concern: 1) fluctuations in global energy prices could result in $13.05 billion in losses compared to importing crude oil, 2) higher costs for the FSRU day rate and reduced cargo capacity could lose $5.952 billion, 3) operational and technological challenges like underutilized capacity could lead to $990 million in losses, 4) charter rates for LNG carriers being higher than market rates may lose $483.30 million. The document calls for more transparency around commercial terms as hiding costs could be justifying higher prices.
The document discusses petroleum project economics and pricing analysis. It covers crude oil pricing factors like location and quality, as well as demand and supply curves. It also examines natural gas pricing dynamics in Trinidad and Tobago, including the prices received by natural gas operators, NGC, and LNG exporters. Netback pricing is used to determine prices to downstream users based on conversion and transportation costs adjusted for product prices.
Presentation by Eric J. Labs, an analyst in CBO’s National Security Division, at the Surface Navy Association’s 35th National Symposium.
The Navy’s shipbuilding plan for fiscal year 2023 presents three alternatives that call for a much larger fleet of manned ships and an undetermined number of unmanned systems. CBO examines the plan’s implications for the potential size, composition, cost, and capabilities of the fleet. The agency also compares the three alternatives with other recent shipbuilding plans and analyses by the Navy.

Presentation by Eric Labs, CBO’s Senior Analyst for Naval Forces and Weapons, at the 2016 Defense Outlook Forum.
Over the next 30 years, the Navy’s 2016 shipbuilding plan will cost one-third more than the service has received historically, CBO estimates. In particular, cost growth in lead ships (and its effect on subsequent ships) drives up the cost of the Navy’s shipbuilding program. If future Navy shipbuilding budgets are in line with those over the past 30 years, the Navy’s fleet will be about 20 percent smaller in 2045 than under the Navy’s plan.
The document discusses India's submarine capabilities and procurement programs. It notes that India's submarine fleet is aging, with over half being over 20 years old. The average operational availability of submarines is low at around 40%. Several programs are underway to boost India's submarine fleet, including Project 75 for 6 submarines, Project 75I for another 6 built in India, the Arihant-class nuclear submarine program, and leasing of nuclear submarines from Russia. However, delays and issues have plagued past procurement efforts, and the defense budget may need to increase further to achieve force levels needed by the navy.
This document summarizes presentations from a workshop on the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (NSPS) in Canada. The NSPS aims to build ships for the Canadian military and coast guard through long-term contracts with selected shipyards. Irving Shipbuilding will build combat vessels while Seaspan will build non-combat vessels in contracts worth up to $36 billion total. Additional smaller ship contracts and maintenance agreements are also part of the strategy. Workshop speakers discussed progress implementing NSPS so far as well as potential future challenges around funding, capabilities, economic outcomes and developing human capital at Canada's shipyards.
Submarine and Autonomous Vessel Proliferation: Implications for Future Strate...Leonam Guimarães
This document summarizes a report by James Clay Moltz that examines the implications of submarine and autonomous vessel proliferation for future strategic stability at sea. Moltz argues that strategic stability during the Cold War relied on factors like long-range missiles, the invulnerability of nuclear submarines, and strict export controls that may not apply going forward. The report surveys emerging undersea capabilities in countries like diesel and nuclear submarine proliferation as well as autonomous technologies. It concludes by suggesting the changing environment poses challenges to U.S. Navy operations and recommends revisions to U.S. export controls, procurement, and basing policies.

The document summarizes the status of US Navy shipbuilding programs in 2011-2012. It discusses how the Navy achieved $4 billion in savings on shipbuilding contracts through tighter requirements, cooperation with industry, and leveraging competition. Key programs highlighted include the Littoral Combat Ship, DDG 1000 and DDG 51 destroyers, LPD 17 amphibious transport docks, Joint High Speed Vessels, and T-AKE cargo and ammunition ships. The Navy contracted for 34 new ships in 2011 and christened, delivered, or commissioned several ships that year.
The Navy is committed to building a 313-ship fleet through ongoing shipbuilding programs. Programs currently underway include the Littoral Combat Ship, DDG 1000, DDG 51, LPD 17, Joint High Speed Vessel, T-AKE, and Mobile Landing Platform. In 2010, seven ships were commissioned and over 120 high-performance boats and craft were delivered. The Navy aims to leverage competition and work with shipbuilders to ensure the highest quality ships at the lowest cost.
Navy Constellation Class Frigate Program Background & IssuesBreakerODay
The Navy wants to procure a total of 20 new Constellation-class frigates to replace its retired Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates. The first two FFG-62s were funded in FY2020 and FY2021 at costs of $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion respectively. The FY2022 budget requests $1.1 billion for the third FFG-62. Key issues for Congress include whether the Navy's estimated costs are accurate, the impact of COVID-19, and ensuring the capabilities and number of vertical launch system tubes meet requirements.
Today's Rhumb Lines provides an update on the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and the LCS program. The LCS will establish and maintain dominance in near-shore environments (littorals), a critical part of the Navy's ability to provide deterrence, sea control, and power projection around the world.

Recently, several Navy attack submarines have been delayed in receiving maintenance at public shipyards. As a result, they have missed deployments or had shortened deployments. CBO was asked by the House Armed Services Committee to compare the maintenance costs at public and private shipyards.
CBO’s analysis focused on the most common type of overhaul, the Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA), for SSN-688 class submarines. CBO found that no matter which method it used to calculate costs, private shipyards were less expensive, on average, than public shipyards for DSRA overhauls. The methodology and findings in this slide deck will be more thoroughly documented in a forthcoming CBO report.
The document analyzes the global commercial shipbuilding industry, focusing on its growth, trends, and future forecast. It discusses how shipbuilding has become a global industry and is dominated by a few key countries. It also examines the industry trends over time, including how South Korea and China have surpassed Japan as the top shipbuilding nations in recent decades. Additionally, the document reviews data on order books and market shares that provide insights into the industry's cyclic behavior and how orders have fluctuated in recent years.

This report provides a wide angle view of how the impact of the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy would ripple through the economy strengthening Nova Scotia's marine/ocean cluster and its aerospace and defence industry.
This report estimates that ships equipped with scrubbers will discharge at least 10 gigatonnes of washwater globally per year. About 80% of discharges occur within 200 nautical miles of shore, with hot spots in heavily trafficked areas like the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Strait of Malacca. Certain ship types, like container ships, bulk carriers, and oil tankers, account for about 70% of discharges. Countries like Panama, Marshall Islands, and Liberia register many of the ships responsible for around 40% of global scrubber discharges. Significant discharges are also expected in ecologically sensitive areas designated by IMO as Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas.
