Royal Dutch Shell is not an American company. Why would they want to build their ship here?

And even if they wanted to, there is no shipyard in the USA capable of building such a rig. Would you expect them to build or expand a shipyard in the USA capable of such? Why, when there is already such a shipyard in Korea?
