Second it was announced that a Letter of Intent to build four product carriers had been agreed upon with Keystone Shipping.

"In more ways than one, we're building for the future," said Ron McAlear, President of Kvaerner Philadelphia Shipyard. "With the completion of this yard - we're creating 1,000 jobs by launching the re-birth of shipbuilding in this city. Today's announcement of an agreement with Keystone as our main launch customer is a solid expression of confidence in this facility."
