America used to be a world leader in shipbuilding. But with a shortage of talent, antiquated operating procedures and outdated facilities the industry — essential to U.S. energy security and defense — is in crisis. China dominates the global commercial shipbuilding industry accounting for 53% of global market share followed by South Korea and Japan. The U.S. accounts for about 0.1%. But that could soon change. In southern Philadelphia, $5 billion is being invested by South Korean shipping conglomerate Hanwha. It hopes to turn this decades old shipyard into a state of the art facility. To look at how shipyards are being revitalized, CNBC traveled to Wisconsin’s Great Lakes region and to one of America’s oldest shipyards in Philadelphia.
