SILVER SHIPS, INC

SILVER SHIPS, INC specializes in the design, construction, and modification of specialized maritime vessels for federal agencies, with deep expertise in aluminum rigid-hull inflatable boats (RIBs), hybrid propulsion systems, and foam-sponson integration. The company delivers custom-built patrol and mission-critical craft featuring advanced composite materials, outboard motor installations, and tailored survivability enhancements such as air/foam collars and shock-mitigated hulls. Their technical proficiency includes marine systems integration, naval architecture for shallow-water operations, and compliance with rigorous military and federal maritime standards for durability, stealth, and rapid deployment in austere environments. SILVER SHIPS distinguishes itself through agile fabrication methods, rapid prototyping of mission-specific configurations, and proven experience retrofitting existing platforms with next-generation propulsion and sensor-ready architectures. The contractor maintains a consistent presence with the Department of Defense, delivering high-performance boats for Coast Guard, Navy, and special operations units, often involving special-purpose variants for coastal surveillance and interdiction. They also support the Department of the Interior and Department of Commerce on scientific and resource management missions, constructing durable, low-signature vessels for lake and river patrolling, environmental monitoring, and field research operations. SILVER SHIPS operates primarily within NAICS 336612 (Boat Building) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), focusing on small to medium-sized aluminum and composite watercraft for tactical, scientific, and recreational federal applications. Their market positioning centers on niche, high-precision vessel production rather than mass-scale shipbuilding, serving agencies requiring customized, mission-optimized platforms with rapid turnaround. Based in Theodore, Alabama, SILVER SHIPS, INC is a small business structured as a 2L entity with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic proximity to Gulf Coast maritime operations supports responsive logistics and field support for federal clients across the southeastern and inland waterway regions.
