Within every ship repair area there are "cheaper" regions: In Northern Europe these areas include Poland, the Baltic States (Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia), and Russia. E.g. Remontowa in Gadansk has developed to a well reputated shipyard for any kind of repairs and sophisticated conversions. With the opening of the Danish Storebælts Bridge in 1998 with a maximum allowable air draught of 63 m the access to special but lucrative repair jobs has been reduced. In 2010 midsized Fredericia Shipyard A/S moved from the Port of Fredericia to the large scale shipyard facilities, which were taken over from the closed newbuilding shipyard Odense Staalskipsvaerft (Maersk Group). On this occasion the company name was changed to Fayard A/S. Part of their comprehensive facilities is a huge 415 m x 90 m graving dock.
