Estonian shipyard Baltic Workboats and Finnish shipbuilder Työvene Oy have established a new ship construction company, Nordic Yards Group. Ships of up to 120m in length will be built by the new yard, Nasva, on the Estonian island Saaremaa and Uusikaupunki, northwest of Turku.
Initially, the companies will continue to operate independently with their own brand, management and employees. “Competition has been replaced by cooperation, synergy and the combination of the best expertise. By joining the skills and strengths of Estonian and Finnish shipbuilding companies, we can offer the best ships to our customers,” said Margus Vanaselja, the owner of Baltic Workboats. “Työvene Oy has strong engineering skills and a good infrastructure for building ships with the lengths of 50-120m. At Nasva, we continue to build tailor-made work vessels with the lengths of up to 60m,” he added.
“It is even more fascinating to be able to put our resources and knowhow together and take on the market.” commented Juha Granqvist, owner and CEO of Työvene.
