Tampa Ship is conveniently located in the protected harbors of Tampa Bay directly accessible from the Gulf of Mexico via a 43 ft. (13.11m) channel, and is the largest, most complete shipyard between Pascagoula, Mississippi, and Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Tampa Ship fronts Sparkman Channel. Sparkman Channel is 43 ft. (13.11 m) in depth and 500 ft. (152.4 m) wide with a 700-ft.

The shipyard covers 62 acres (25.09 ha) and features four graving drydocks with 28-ft. (8.53 m) draft capabilities for ships up to 746 ft. (227.38 m) in length, and 24-ft.
