The National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) is a United States Maritime Administration (MARAD) ship designed as training vessels for maritime academies. The five vessels will also be equipped to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.[2] The US$630 million project was managed by TOTE Maritime, a U.S.-based shipping company with experience building U.S.-flagged vessels, with the with Philly Shipyard constructing the ships. The first ship was delivered to State University of New York Maritime College in September 2023.[3][4]

Background

The US maritime academies train future officers and engineers for the US merchant fleet. An integral part of this training is annual voyage at sea aboard a training vessel. Much of the year the vessels are laid up, and as US government owned ships they can be activated and deployed to provide housing for disaster relief workers.[5] As of 2018 the current vessels were aging. The newest was almost 30 years old and oldest, Empire State, was 56 years old and had an antiquated steam power plant. The ships also fail international emission standards and this has impacted their training itineraries. MARAD provides the training ships and in 2015 initiated a program to develop a purpose-built ship design that would combine the training and disaster relief missions.[6] This dual purpose led to the class name of the design as National Security Multi-Mission Vessel.[5]

Design considerations

In 2015 the Herbert Engineering Corp. of Alameda, CA began work on a preliminary design for what became the NSMV.[7] The ship dimensions would have to fit the existing mooring berths at the service academies. The design team visited three of the academies to learn of their training requirements. While primarily a training ship, the vessels would also be equipped for disaster relief. These included a Roll-on/Roll-off side ramp, container space and crane, and a helipad.[8]

Project status

In February 2018 the design stage was in Phase 3 of development and in sufficient detail to present to shipyards for construction bidding.[8] In March 2018 the US federal budget included funding for the NSMV project and the first ship was expected to enter service in 2022.[9] A construction contract was to have been awarded to a shipyard in the second quarter of 2019[10] but proposed 2019 federal budget reductions cut the allocated amount per ship from $300M to only $205M. This reduced amount would require abandonment of the NSMV design and a complete redesign for a smaller ship.[11] The 2020 budget requested by President Trump restored the allocation to $300M.[12]

In April 2020, TOTE Services signed a contract with Philly Shipyard (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) for the construction of the first two vessels to be delivered in the Spring and Winter 2023 for a cost of US$630M. TOTE Services is working with its design partners – Glosten, Inc., Philly Shipyard, and Philly Shipyard’s subcontractors, including the design team at DSEC.[13]

Steel cutting for NSMV I began in December 2020,[14] for NSMV2 in March 2021,[15] and for NSMV3 in July 2022.[16] In January 2020 a contract was signed with the same shipyard for NSMV4 with an anticipated delivery in 2024.[17] Funding for NSMV5 was approved in March 2022.[18]


The vessels are anticipated to be delivered to the following maritime academies:

name operator keel laid delivery
NSMV 1 Empire State VII State University of New York Maritime College 10 December 2021.[19] September 18, 2023[3][4][20]
NSMV II Patriot State II Massachusetts Maritime Academy 29 September 2022.[21] October 10, 2024 [22]
NSMV III State of Maine V Maine Maritime Academy May 2023[23] expected 2025[24]
NSMV IV Lone Star State Texas A&M University at Galveston December 2023.[25] expected 2025[24]
NSMV V Golden State II California State University Maritime Academy February 2024[26] delivery expected 2026[27]
