Fincantieri North Florida Shipyards

About

Fincantieri Group, who employs 19,000 people worldwide, in 2022 put plans in place to invest more than $30M and ramp up employment to 300 jobs in Jacksonville by 2028. Fincantieri Marine Repair established a presence in Jax in 2022 to perform maintenance and repairs for vessels stationed nearby in Mayport by improving marine infrastructure on Jax’s Working Waterfront in preparation for a 500-foot, Navy-certified dry dock. It announced a major U.S. Navy contract in Jan. 2024. The Commodores Point shipyard facility is on the north bank of the St. Johns River between the Mathews and Hart bridges on the site previously leased by North Florida Shipyards.

Investment: $30 million
