EXPERIENCE/PROJECTS

Marine Port Development/Re-Development Projects

Cashman has constructed, owned, managed and redeveloped economically important marine industrial facilities along the East Coast including the ones depicted here:

Quincy Shipyard Revitalization

Cashman purchased, redeveloped and continues to occupy and manage the former Quincy/General Dynamics Shipyard in Quincy, MA. Redevelopment highlights:

  • Over 100 years of heavy industrial use (developed as shipyard by Thomas Watson in late 1800’s).

  • Re-development had to follow Massachusetts DEP environmental and waterfront permitting requirements as property has an activity and use limitation restricting uses.

  • Located in Designated Port Area and required updating Massachusetts DEP and US Army Corps permits.

  • Revitalized old vacant industrial buildings & pier facilities.

  • New tenants include Cashman’s own corporate offices, the New England Aquarium’s research & rehabilitation center, the corporate offices and manufacturing facility for General Dynamic’s Bluefin Robotics (robotic submarines/ underwater research vessels); the MBTA’s commuter and excursion boat layover facility and Sterling Equipment, one of the largest East Coast marine equipment companies.

  • We have been good corporate citizens in Quincy by working with the Mayor and the City Council in supporting charitable groups throughout the City including a woman’s domestic violence support center, the YMCA, food for the homeless and needy, children’s summer camp programs, community recreation programs and helping restore and preserve historic assets.

Borne Chemical/Port Elizabeth Marine Terminal, Elizabeth, New Jersey

Cashman working closely with the City of Elizabeth NJ and the New Jersey DEP, purchased and repurposed the former Borne Chemical facility in Elizabeth, NJ in the heart of the Port of NY/NJ. Project details:

  • Site had a long history of industrial use (including Standard Oil of New Jersey)

  • Long tainted environmental status required working with twenty PRPs for long abandoned facility

  • Negotiated redevelopment Agreement with City of Elizabeth

  • Developed remedial action work plan with NJ DEP which included building demolition, site capping and construction of a new bulkhead along the Arthur Kill to prevent leaching of contaminants into the waters of the Port

  • Remediation work included excavating and processing 20,000 cubic yards of “hot spot” PCB, VOC and heavy metals contaminated soils for off-site transportation and disposal as well as dredging 6,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment along the River

Cashman under a long-term lease with the Massachusetts Port Authority transformed a bankrupt/vacant former shipyard facility in Boston Harbor into a mixed-use marine industrial/marine recreational center. Project highlights:

  • Heavy industrial history as a former Bethlehem Steel Shipyard with environmental contamination required stringent environmental oversight.

  • Site was in “Designated Port Area” requiring marine dependent end users

  • 20 acre site with 250,000 square feet of industrial space.

  • Worked proactively with the community which is adjacent to Logan International Airport with civic programs and mitigation efforts and provided 100’s of jobs.

  • Ship/Marine Repair Yard

  • A Commercial Photo Studio

  • The Spirit Of Boston Dinner Cruise Ship

  • A Newly Permitted 240 Slip Marina With Fuel Dock

New Bedford, MA South Terminal Clean Energy Center Project

  • Constructed 1,200 linear foot bulkhead with 29’ depth berthing
