Atlantic Marine is an American shipbuilding and construction company. It operates two shipyards, one in Alabama and a second, smaller one in Jacksonville, Florida where its corporate headquarters is located.
As Atlantic Marine Holdings, the company took over the shipyard of the Alabama Drydock and Shipbuilding Company in 1992. In 2006, the company was itself taken over by an investment firm run by former U.S. Navy Secretary John F. Lehman and is now known simply as Atlantic Marine.
The company offers a variety of services, including shipbuilding, ship repairs, maintenance and conversion, and also steel fabrication for industrial uses. Its Alabama drydock facility can service vessels of up to 46,400 tons, including cargo and cruise ships, and the shipyard also offers repair and conversion facilities for "drilling rigs and semi-submersibles that serve the offshore oil industry."[1]
The Jacksonville drydock can service vessels of up ot 14,600 tons, and specializes in "mega-yacht repairs and refits, as well as commercial and U.S. Navy ship repairs and conversions, marine fabrication, and industrial fabrication and machining."[2]
