Bath Iron Works has been awarded a $202 million contract to continue planning yard services for Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers.
The contract is $202 million for the first year with four option years that. If fully funded by the Navy, it would bring the contract’s total value to $1.1 billion.
“We are proud to continue these important planning yard services, making sure DDG 51-type destroyers — the workhorse of the Navy fleet — receive efficient and timely life-cycle support,” said BIW President Charles F. Krugh.
BIW also won a $22.7 million contract from the U.S Navy for continued planning yard services for the DDG 1,000 Zumwalt-class guided-missile destroyer back in March.
Most of the planning yard services will be performed in Maine, including availability planning, material kitting, logistics, configuration and on-site support.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
