Custom Marine Construction

Built to Your Exact Specifications

Not every vessel fits neatly into a standard category. C&C Marine specializes in designing and constructing custom marine vessels for unique operational requirements.

Since 1997, C&C Marine and Repair has taken on projects that other shipyards couldn't or wouldn't. Our integrated engineering team, flexible fabrication capabilities, and experienced workforce allow us to construct specialty vessels that meet exact client specifications, no matter how unique the requirements.

Whether you need a research vessel with specialized scientific equipment, a floating work platform for marine construction, or an environmental response vessel for oil spill operations, our team has the expertise to deliver a custom solution on time and on budget.

Our Approach

Why Build Custom with C&C

Our unique combination of onsite engineering, flexible facilities, and regulatory expertise makes us the right partner for specialty vessel construction.

Custom Engineering

Our onsite engineering team designs vessels from scratch to meet your exact operational requirements, not off-the-shelf templates.

Flexible Fabrication

Our facility can accommodate non-standard hull forms, unusual outfitting requirements, and specialized equipment integration.

Regulatory Expertise

We navigate the classification and regulatory requirements for unusual vessel types, ensuring full compliance with ABS, USCG, and other authorities.

Collaborative Process

We work closely with clients throughout the design and construction process, incorporating feedback and adapting to evolving requirements.

Specialty Builds

Examples of Specialty Vessels

Below are examples of the types of specialty vessels C&C Marine can design and construct. This is not an exhaustive list; if you have a unique marine vessel requirement, contact us to discuss your project.

Research & Survey Vessels

Custom research and hydrographic survey vessels designed for scientific operations, environmental monitoring, and underwater survey work. These vessels feature specialized equipment mounting systems, laboratory spaces, and low-vibration hulls for sensitive instrumentation.

Floating Work Platforms

Heavy-duty floating platforms engineered for marine construction, pile driving, and heavy-lift operations. These vessels serve as stable working surfaces for cranes, pile hammers, and other construction equipment operating in waterway and coastal environments.

Ferries & Passenger Vessels

Custom ferry and passenger vessels designed for safe, comfortable, and efficient waterborne transportation. From small crew boats to larger vehicle-and-passenger ferries, these vessels are built to USCG Subchapter T or K standards.

Crane Barges & Derrick Barges

Barges specifically designed and reinforced for mounting and operating marine cranes and derricks. These vessels feature structural reinforcement at crane pedestal locations, ballast control systems for load-dependent stability, and positioning systems for precision lifts.

Dredge Support Vessels

Support vessels designed to work alongside dredging operations, including pipeline barges, booster stations, and crew/supply boats for dredge fleets. These vessels are engineered to integrate seamlessly with dredging equipment and operations.

Environmental Response Vessels

Purpose-built vessels for oil spill response, environmental cleanup, and pollution containment operations. These vessels feature specialized equipment for deploying and recovering oil containment booms, skimming systems, and recovered oil storage.
