Saronic is constructing what it claims will be America's largest and most advanced shipyard. The defence tech company's Port Alpha facility in Brownsville, Texas, will serve as the hub for scaling production of autonomous ships. Co-founder and CEO Dino Mavrookas emphasised the importance of speed in shipbuilding as the company breaks ground on the project. The facility represents Saronic's strategy to rapidly expand manufacturing capabilities for its autonomous naval vessels. The company aims to leverage the new shipyard to meet growing demand for autonomous maritime defence technology.

US Congresswoman invests up to $100K in drone firm with $392M Navy contract

Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) disclosed a $50,000 to $100,000 investment in Saronic Technologies, a privately held maritime drone and autonomous vessel company. The trade was made on 15 July 2026 by her spouse. Saronic was valued at $9.25 billion earlier this year following a $1.75 billion Series D funding round led by Kleiner Perkins. In December, the company secured a $392 million production contract from the US Navy for autonomous maritime vessels. The investment timing drew attention, occurring just before Saronic announced a new Texas shipyard on 16 July and a strategic partnership with Samsung Heavy Industries on 24 July. McClain chairs the House Republican Conference and is a close ally of President Donald Trump. This marks her third private company investment since late 2025.

Saronic to invest $3B in Port Alpha shipyard in Texas, creating 10,000 jobs

Saronic has selected Brownsville, Texas as the location for Port Alpha, its next-generation shipyard designed to restore American maritime strength.
