Who are we?
Project Aurora Marine Industries, is a division of the State owned Project Aurora group of companies, specialising in the design and construction of large commercial ships, but is also responsible for the construction of the vessels used by the ACMSDF including the submarines. The company was founded due to the merger of 8 smaller ship building companies in 1939 to ensure that the government of the Aurora Confederacy had a steady supply of standardised warships in case war decended onto the Aurora Confederacy, though thankfully the Aurora Confederacy was not swept up in the global politics due to a policy of neutrality. When the clouds lifted, the world needed to rebuild and get back on its commercial feet, as such Project Aurora was in an ideal place to begin the commercial rebuilding.
The shipyard initially sprang up at Rai''lal in order to provide a production site for the construction of the sub assemblies of the Rai'Lal bridge project, this huge project required the construction of dry docks which were at the time the largest in the Aurora Confederacy, and with the construction of the bridge, Rai'Lal ceased to be a sleepy town but within the space of a year had become the largest building site in the country as not only was docks being built ready for the construction project, but also the city itself. During the 1970s, with the Rai'Lal bridge construction project underway, Project Aurora Marine Industries was the largest employer within the country, employing 60% of the cities workforce, as well as a good deal of the workforce from outlying areas.
With our shipyards being in Rai'Lal City, the corporate offices of Project Aurora Maritime Industries can be found in South Sands, close to the harbour where we also have a yard with drydock capability to allow the maintainance and repair of vessels upto 350m in length in its largest dry dock, of which there are 4, along with the ability to lift smaller vessels up to 36m in length out of the water without having to dry dock them, this is ideal for working on trawlers.
Services offered by Project Aurora Maritime Industries include the following:
Damage Repair
Scrape and Repaint of hull
Servicing of ship board equipment
Refitting of ships
Refuelling of ships, (Including Nuclear reactors)*
viable if the vessel is due for a refit which is typically 25% the cost of a new vessel

Products
To minimise production costs, Project Aurora Marine Engineering uses standard production line techniques as pioneered in its other sectors, where larger vessels are built in sub assemblies, known as megablocks in industry speak, with each module fitted out before final installation within the finished product, making for a faster, more efficient building, with the ship finally being floated out rather than sent down a slipway.
