HJ Shipbuilding & Construction has completed its first US Navy maintenance, repair and overhaul project, according to Marine Insight’s report. USNS Amelia Earhart departed the company’s Yeongdo yard in Busan on 15 October.

The report says inspections identified additional defects and the accepted scope of work extended the original April completion plan into October. HJ says the additional work increased the contract value, but the revised amount has not been disclosed.

The company intends to pursue further US Navy repair work. The account does not announce a follow-on contract.
