Moran Iron Works, Watermaster NA join forces December 17, 2020, by Eldin Ganic
Moran Iron Works and Ann Arbor-based Watermaster NA have partnered in a venture to manufacture the Finnish-engineered AMD 5000 amphibious dredging machine in North America.
The Watermaster machine has been sold worldwide for thirty years but not in the U.S.A. due to an import policy called the Jones Act.
Because the AMD 5000 is now made in the U.S., it is a fully Jones Act-compliant vessel and is now available for purchase throughout the country.
The two companies came together over a year ago and through a series of leadership meetings in Helsinki, Finland and Onaway, MI they agreed to join forces in an OEM partnership.
