There is no better way to describe the positioning of Nordic Yards than with this claim of ours. Nordic recognised the market trends at an early stage and has systematically focused on the offshore sector for years. With great success! Since the start-up three years ago, our shipyard group has consistently looked to new markets and niche areas, and it has established itself as a „maritime system integrator“ for offshore structures, high-tech ships and system solutions. With the three converter platforms for SIEMENS and the wind turbine service vessel for DBB, which are currently under construction, we have become part of the turning point for energy in Germany. We are making great strides in our role as designers of the maritime future. Our new website now offers you an insight into a world, in which we are making the ideas and projects of tomorrow a reality of today. A warm welcome to Nordic Yards.more
