Hanwha Philly Shipyard

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we take this opportunity to reflect on the history, values, and spirit of innovation that have shaped our nation since its founding.

Located in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, just miles from where the Declaration of Independence was signed, we are proud to contribute to an industry that has played an essential role in our country's growth, security, and prosperity for generations.

As we commemorate this historic milestone, we are reminded that America's strength is built through the contributions of people and industries working together to move our nation forward.

We wish everyone a safe and happy Independence Day.

Recently, Hanwha Philly Shipyard (HPSI) had the privilege of attending the Asian American Civic Engagement Town Hall hosted by the Asian American Business Alliance of Greater Philadelphia (AABAGP).

Our CEO, David Kim, was invited to join community leaders, business professionals, and regional stakeholders for a thoughtful discussion on civic engagement and issues impacting the Asian American community. We were also honored to hear remarks from U.S. Senator David McCormick during the event.

We are grateful to AABAGP and Senator McCormick for bringing together voices from across the region and providing an opportunity to strengthen collaboration, foster meaningful dialogue, and support the continued growth of our communities and industries. Hanwha Philly Shipyard remains committed to initiatives that promote inclusion, connection, and long-term growth in Philadelphia.

Last week, Kelly Whitaker, Vice President of Sustainability & Communications at Hanwha Philly Shipyard, joined NAIOP Greater Philadelphia’s Executive Speaker Series to discuss the future of the Navy Yard. She spoke about the shipyard’s investments in shipbuilding, infrastructure, and workforce development. She also highlighted how those investments are helping strengthen America’s maritime industrial base while creating economic opportunities throughout the Navy Yard, Philadelphia, and the broader region.

The conversation emphasized the Navy Yard’s unique role as a hub for advanced manufacturing, innovation, defense, and workforce development, as well as the importance of collaboration in supporting long-term growth and opportunity.

HPSI is proud to be part of the Navy Yard community and to contribute to its continued evolution as a key driver of economic growth and opportunity in the Philadelphia region.
