Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Aging polar icebreaker fleet (Polar Star and Polar Sea are well beyond their service lives).
• Delays in the construction and delivery of the Polar Security Cutters (PSCs).
• Technical, schedule, and cost risks in the PSC program.
• Limited experience of U.S. shipbuilders in designing and building heavy polar icebreakers.
• Caterpillar phasing out production of medium-speed diesel engines used in PSCs.
• Potential cost growth in the PSC program comparable to other Navy and Coast Guard shipbuilding programs.

Mitigation Strategies

• Investing millions of dollars to overhaul, repair, and extend the service life of Polar Star.
• Working with Bollinger Mississippi Shipbuilding to accelerate the detailed design and construction of the PSCs.
• Using a parent design approach (based on the German icebreaker Polarstern II) to reduce risks.
• Establishing an integrated program office with the Navy to share best practices.
• Establishing an agreement with Caterpillar to ensure availability of engine-generator sets and life cycle support.
• Using a fixed-price incentive (firm-target) contract with economic price adjustment to incentivize cost control.
