DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES; TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT
     On December 19, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) declared effective a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-145588) (the “Registration Statement”) of Orion Marine Group, Inc. (the “Registrant”) relating to the resale from time to time of up to 20,949,196 common shares (the “Registered Shares”) of the Registrant by the selling shareholders named in the Registration Statement pursuant to the plan of distribution set forth therein. The Registrant has supplemented the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) included in the Registration Statement with the information set forth in Prospectus Supplement No. 1 dated December 28, 2007, Prospectus Supplement No. 2 dated March 3, 2008 and Prospectus Supplement No. 3 dated March 19, 2008, filed with the Commission. The Registrant has amended the Registration Statement pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 dated March 20, 2008.
     Registrant determined that it will no longer maintain effectiveness of the Registration Statement in light of the Commission’s recent amendments to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which would enable non-affiliate shareholders of the Registrant’s shares covered by the Registration Statement to freely resell those shares if the applicable conditions of the amended Rule 144 are met. Accordingly, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is being filed solely to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to deregister, as of the effective date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, a total of 15,747,468 Registered Shares, which are all of the Registered Shares that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of all such securities.
