The work we do is hard, and we spend a lot of time focused on what we can do to improve each time. But it's equally as important to reflect, enjoy, and celebrate each success, both big and small. With that in mind we'd like to highlight the completion of a huge milestone project. Under the leadership of Superintendent Jason Turner, our trades and support departments put their best foot forward and closed out one of our largest contracts yet. The RDM-4 Shipping Port has departed and is enroute back to its home. Congratulations to our team and thank you to all involved! #Colonnas1875 #RespectPrideTruthFamily #AJobWellDone #ThankYou
About us
We are Colonna's. Colonna’s Shipyard, Inc. is a diversified industrial company, with multiple divisions and affiliates delivering the highest quality ship repair, machining, and steel fabrication services to both the commercial and government markets. Colonna’s Shipyard, Inc. is located in the historic Berkley section of Norfolk, Virginia and is the oldest continuous family owned and operated private shipyard in the United States. Founded in 1875 by Charles J. Colonna, a 26 year old ship carpenter with limited resources, the early business was limited to pier-side repairs. Within 2 years, Charles had added his first marine railway powered by two horses that had a lift capacity of about 40 tons, and he was off and running. Although over 140 years old, Colonna’s Shipyard continues to maintain its commitment to modernization, making the capital investments necessary for improvements in efficiency and productivity. Today, Colonna’s is a diverse industrial company with extensive capabilities in commercial and government ship repair, machining and large steel fabrication. Colonna’s strength is our employees. We employ the best and the brightest in the shipyard industry and we are proud of all that they do. From welders and ship fitters to government contract specialists, we have the right people in place to make sure the job is completed to the highest standards. Respect~ Pride ~ Truth ~ Family These are our CORE VALUES and the guidelines that make us a leader in our industry. We are pleased and confident in stating that our skilled employees are among the most respected experts in the ship repair industry. Colonna’s Shipyard and our affiliates are pleased to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. EOE/M/F/DISABILITY/VET

A little over a week ago, Colonna’s employees came together for the annual Company Picnic, a cherished event that embodies our Company Value of Family. This gathering offered everyone a chance to enjoy each other’s company, savor delicious food, and take a well-deserved break from the demands of everyday operations. Employees enjoyed a variety of dishes, including pulled pork BBQ, chicken, baked beans, coleslaw, and more. The picnic concluded with awards and a raffle, adding an extra touch of excitement to the day. #Colonnas1875 #RespectPrideTruthFamily #AnnualPicnic Steel America Weld America

We can’t think of a better way to kick off National Safety Month than with a company-wide Safety Summit! Employees paused normal operations last Thursday to refresh their safety knowledge, receive safety-related Company updates, and explore the latest tools and equipment that support safe operations. Employees demonstrated our pillar of success – Safety is Everyone’s Job – by participating in a yard and neighborhood clean-up, group training sessions, rotating safety demonstrations, and a safety stand-down brief led by our leadership. A huge thanks to Grainger and 3M for hosting this event, Chris Marsh for coordinating, and to our booth participants: Milwaukee Tool, DEWALT, MAZELLA PROCESS INDUSTRIES, and BlastOne International. #Colonnas1875 #RespectPrideTruthFamily #SafetySummit #SafetyIsEveryonesJob #AllTheTime #NationalSafetyMonth Steel America Weld America
