The facility was initially established in 1916. It was one of the original nine emergency yards funded by the U.S. Maritime Commission during WWII, becoming one of the largest employers in Southern Alabama while producing Liberty Ships and T-2 Tankers for the war effort. Over the years the shipyard has employed thousands of people, including Jimmy Buffet, his dad JD Buffet, and Hank Williams Senior. Alabama Shipyard is a fully-equipped facility and a fundamental part of Mobile’s history. Our team is dedicated to upholding Mobile's longstanding tradition of first-class service on the Gulf Coast.

Faced with an aging fleet, The Steamship Authority has turned to converted offshore support vessels to breathe new life into its Woods Hole, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket ferry operations. #marine #maritime #offshore #ferries #shiprepair #conversion #shipsandshipping Alabama Shipyard LLC
It’s time to kick off another exciting conversion! Last week, Alabama Shipyard welcomed its third Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV), and work is already underway to transform it into a ferry, just like its two sister ships. The initial step involved moving the OSV onto land to facilitate the main conversion work. We began by docking the vessel on the Dry Dock Alabama and transferring it onto a barge. Using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs), we carefully rolled the OSV off the barge and onto land. The process went off without a hitch, thanks to the expertise and dedication of our talented employees and subcontractors!
