Location & Facility Overview BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Jacksonville is a full-service shipyard located two miles from the Atlantic Ocean, at the intersection of the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. A river depth of 41 feet with no overhead obstructions gives customers easy deepwater access from the Caribbean and Atlantic, while the shipyard's welding, pipe fitting, mechanical, and fabrication capabilities support vessel repair, maintenance, overhaul, conversion, and marine fabrication for domestic, international, commercial, and government customers. Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the Jacksonville shipyard is equipped to handle projects of any scale, from tugs and megayachts to tankers and warships.

Shipyard Capabilities & Equipment The Jacksonville shipyard is built for heavy industrial marine work, with a 25,000-ton shiplift, a 4-acre land-level facility, two marine railways rated at 4,000 tons and 1,000 tons, 1,630 feet of pier space, and crane capacity up to 150 tons. ISO 9001:2015 certified, the facility backs this infrastructure with an extensive range of in-house capabilities spanning bending, cutting, forming, heavy machining, precision machining, painting and blasting, and rolling — giving the shipyard the equipment and expertise to take on complex mechanical and engineering projects from start to finish. For vessels moored at the shipyard's pier space awaiting a shiplift slot, DS Diving provides underwater hull cleaning and inspection services to keep hulls maintained in the interim.

Vessel Repair, Maintenance & Fabrication BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Jacksonville refits, maintains, modernizes, and overhauls mega-yachts, tugs, barges, small cruise vessels, and military ships with a high degree of expertise, professionalism, confidentiality, and focus on safety. The shipyard's highly skilled and trained workforce has built an unsurpassed reputation for quality craftsmanship, giving customers the location, capability, and people needed to service the unique mechanical and engineering needs of nearly any maritime project. When welding work is needed below the waterline without dry-docking a vessel, DS Diving's underwater welding services complement the shipyard's onshore welding and fabrication capabilities.

Jacksonville's Role in the Maritime Industry As a major commercial port and a designated U.S. Navy Fleet Concentration Area, Jacksonville is home to more than a dozen U.S. Navy ships that rely on sustainment from the region's private industrial base, prominently including BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Jacksonville. The shipyard's combination of deepwater access, heavy equipment, and skilled workforce positions it as a critical resource not only for commercial and private vessel owners, but for national defense and the broader U.S. and international maritime industry.
