MOBILE, Ala. - Austal USA has been recognized by The American Equity Underwriters (AEU) as one of the safest shipyards in the maritime industry. AEU, a leading provider of workers’ compensation for waterfront employers, uses its safety award program to celebrate shipyards that go above and beyond to keep workers safe. “Our rich history of industry-leading safety performance makes being recognized as an industry-leader immensely gratifying," said Austal USA President Rusty Murdaugh, "especially considering the added complexities we experienced this past year including construction of our new steel production line, operating a newly-acquired dry dock at Austal’s West Campus and commencing ship repair efforts, and heightened protocols to protect against COVID 19.” AEU’s Safety Award program relies on comprehensive grading criteria that provides effective measures for determining incident prevention performance and management-based controls impact on safety outcomes. Austal USA has been recognized repeatedly for its safe high-tech manufacturing processes. This is the seventh AEU award the company has received, and the 21st industry safety award earned overall.
