BAE Systems Southeast Shipyards operates as a segment of BAE Systems Ship Repair, which is a subsidiary under BAE Systems Inc., the North American division of the UK-based defense giant BAE Systems. This entity was formed following the purchase of Atlantic Marine from the private equity firm J.F. Lehman and Company in May 2010, with the transaction valued at $352 million.
The division’s main office is situated in Jacksonville, Florida, where it manages shipyard facilities both in Jacksonville and Mayport, Florida. Previously, it also ran a site in Mobile, Alabama, until that location ceased operations in 2018. Combined employment at the Florida yards totals roughly 900 personnel, while the Mobile yard employed about 800 staff members before its closure. The Jacksonville shipyard’s expertise lies in luxury yacht refits, commercial and naval vessel repairs and conversions, along with industrial and marine fabrication services. Meanwhile, the Mayport location, positioned on leased land within Naval Station Mayport, dedicates its efforts to servicing and maintaining vessels for the United States Navy. Prior to shutting down, the Mobile facility offered dry dock capabilities and heavy-lift operations for large-scale ships, alongside pier access, fabrication work, and system installations.
