US shipbuilders say they're ready for the LNG boom, but the real benefits could come from Washington, not the market.
In response to Maritime Administrator Mark Buzby tipping the sector as a place domestic shipyards can thrive, American shipbuilders said they were ready and able, though perhaps lacking in experience.
"None of us have built an LNG carrier before, but the LNG technology is well known," said Steinar Nerbovik, the chief executive at Philly Shipyard.
