Over 100 years of Shipbuilding Excellence & Technology Innovation!
Bentley Marine's rich 100 year plus Jacksonville, Florida shipbuilding heritage dates back to 1918, when prominent engineering and contracting company - The A. Bentley & Sons Co., established in Toledo, Ohio in the 1880's built the Bentley Shipyard at the margins of the St. Johns River for the construction of military ships for the US Government at the end of WWI with innovative composite concrete shipbuilding technology.

We offer a broad range of Ship Design & Engineering Services for the commercial and military ship Industry, from hull and propulsion systems optimization to complete new builds and refits.
We use the latest in AI technologies, including CAD, Finite Element Analysis (FEM) and Fluid Dynamics (CFD) which are then validated by traditional ship model laboratory tests. to evaluate ship resistance, propulsion efficiency (cavitation tube), maneuvering and seakeeping of all the types of hull forms in strict conformity to the ITTC- International Towing Tank Conference protocols.
BENTLEY MARINE has several Teams of expert Naval Architects and Engineers in specific Advanced hulls forms such as SWATH, Air Cavity, Hydrofoils, Wave Piercing Catamaran, WIG and many more. Our Engineering Team can also refit or modernize existing commercial and military ships hulls and propulsion systems to enhance their performance, seakeeping and fuel efficiency with GREEN ShipTechnologies.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) will enforce a new 0.5% global sulphur cap on fuel content from 1 January 2020, lowering from the present 3.5% limit. The global fuel sulphur cap is part of the IMO's response to heightening environmental concerns, contributed in part by harmful emissions from ships.
Our company is strategically positioned to provide the maritime community, shipowners, shipyards, and fuel distributors with cost effective solutions that do not require the installation of expensive exhaust scrubbers or the use of dangerous blended HFO fuel mixes that can cause havoc on the ship's main engines, generators and auxiliary equipment.
BENTLEY MARINE exclusive GREEN Reformer Technology, converts low cost HSHFO (high Sulphur HFO) into ULSHFO Ultra Low Sulphur HFO) compliant with ISO 8217 Standard at the rate of 4 Mt/h, requiring no modification in the ship's engines or fuel systems.
Shipowners and operators with a large fleets of ships can benefit from making their own compliant fuel on strategic ports for their own fleet. This is the best way to guarantee consistent fuel quality, supply and availability. Each of our intelligent modular plants consists of two 40ft shipping containers that can be easily transported across the globe.
We also offer shipowners of older fleets, inexpensive HFO to LNG conversions and complete replacement of 2-stroke engines with much more compact and reliable Dual Fuel Direct Drive or Turbo Electric Solutions.
We assist shipowners, shipyards and Navies in finding intelligent and cost effective solutions to the most challenging and complex projects.
Our extensive Global Technical resources and strategic partnerships and joint-ventures with hundreds of industry professionals and selected equipment manufacturers worldwide, make us the Preferred One-Stop-Shop for many Navies and Shipowners.
Our Next Gen Service approach is also fully supported by local technicians that speak our clients languages and understand their country customs.
This innovative corporate structure approach, also allows us to be recognized as the "world's best" when it comes to customized technical solutions and the integration and manufacture of project specific machinery and equipment. An advantage that cannot be offered or replicated even by the most respectable names in the marine industry.
No matter how small or how large and complex your Project may be, it should always start with an Initial Technical Consultancy. This smart and safe approach allow us to better understand our clients specific needs and our experts to study and prepare a written Technical Report on the best and most cost effective solution.
After gathering some preliminary information about the Project, we prepare and submit an Initial Consultancy Agreement covering all points required. We typically charge a small fully deductible deposit to cover our travel expenses and costs to prepare pertinent materials for our first personal meeting.
We provide expert advice from the most simple refits or repowering projects, to the most complex design and engineering of very large commercial ships, offshore structures and military craft.
The procurement of special shipbuilding materials and project-specific machinery and equipment is one of the most challenging tasks for shipyards, shipowners and Navies across the globe.
