Shipyard Staffing

With over 1,000 large ships being constructed annually, and hundreds more being repaired and refitted, the U.S. shipbuilding and repairing industry contributes close to $40 billion annually to the GDP and creates over 400,000 jobs nationwide. According to the United States Maritime Administration there are 124 shipyards across 26 states actively building ships and another 200 engaged in ship repairs.

Since 1991 Ameri-Force has built relationships with these shipyards to employ the most skilled marine tradesmen and laborers available. Our employees fill every role in the shipbuilding process including: marine electricians, pipe fitters, ship fitters, sheet metal workers, welders, maintenance mechanics, insulators, crane operators, and many more. Ameri-Force employees handle repair, conversion, and alteration of large vessels, even working on prefabricated ship and barge sections for later assembly.
