Bill overview
The Building Ships in America Act of 2025 aims to bolster the U.S. shipbuilding industry and national security by providing tax incentives. It establishes a United States Vessel Investment Credit for qualifying cargo vessels built or repaired in the U.S., offers exclusions for maritime security payments, and eliminates a 30-day limitation on domestic shipbuilding operations. The bill also includes provisions to encourage shipyard facility construction and promote maritime fuel tax parity, while addressing potential foreign entity influence and aligning maritime zones with Opportunity Zones.
