# Federal and Wisconsin Governments Fund Marinette Shipyards

On October 14, 2026, Fincantieri Marine Group received **$10.2 million** in federal and Wisconsin state grants to modernize its Marinette, Wisconsin shipyards and support its workforce. The investment may help position the shipyards for a potential four-ship U.S. Navy landing-ship order, but no Navy order has been awarded and the signal provides no solicitation details or procurement contact.

- The grant is for shipyard modernization and workforce support; companies with relevant shipyard, equipment, or workforce capabilities can assess whether they may be suited to potential follow-on needs, though no specific opportunity is identified.
- Shipbuilding contractors and suppliers should distinguish the awarded grant from the possible Navy order: the latter remains undecided, with no reported solicitation or award.
- The investment signals public support for Marinette shipyard capacity. Businesses pursuing Navy-related work can use it as context for evaluating potential supply-chain or teaming interest, without treating the four-ship order as an active procurement.
