Tallvine Partners announced the acquisition of Lind Marine, LLC, expanding its North American marine infrastructure platform to the West Coast. The deal marks Tallvine’s second acquisition in the sector following its September 2025 acquisition of Donjon Marine, LLC. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Lind Marine provides marine infrastructure solutions including dredging, towing, salvage, shipyard operations, environmental remediation, and other marine services across the San Francisco Bay. The acquisition broadens Tallvine’s geographic reach, complementing Donjon Marine’s East Coast operations. Christian Lind will continue leading the company as CEO, while Thoroughbred LLC will remain the platform’s industrial partner.
Founded in 1906, Lind Marine operates from its shipyard on Mare Island, featuring a 400-foot drydock supporting vessel repair and new construction. The company operates a fleet of 40 vessels and employs more than 120 people. Lind Marine supports industrial, utility, municipal, government, and waterfront owner customers throughout the Bay Area and regional waterways. The business will continue operating under the Lind Marine brand.
Tallvine said the acquisition strengthens the platform’s capabilities and positions it for continued growth through additional fleet investments and strategic acquisitions. The company also noted plans to foster operational collaboration and expertise sharing across the broader marine infrastructure platform.
Tallvine Partners is an independent investment advisor focused on value-add middle-market infrastructure opportunities across the energy and utilities, transportation and logistics, and communications sectors in North America. The firm is based in Miami and led by partners Thomas Lefebvre, Chucri Hjeily, Mark Clark, and Victor Sosa.
