About Us

The Western Shipyard Group has been one of the largest marine engineering corporations in Lithuania for already five decades. Currently, the group incorporates 21 companies that specialize in different fields of activity, and provides all services related to the life cycle of a ship. The main activities of the company group are implementation of shipbuilding, ship repair and conversion projects, complex ship design and engineering solutions, large and complex metal construction and equipment production, and stevedoring services.

The ship repair history at WESTERN SHIPYARD began in 1966, when it was decided upon that a big tonnage ship repair yard was to be built in the southern part of the port, specializing in the construction and the grown of Lithuanian fleet repair. On July 18th 1969, the first ship was already docked for repair.

Our daughter company Western Shiprepair was established in 2003, after a successful diversification of WESTERN SHIPYARD activities.

Currently, WESTERN SHIPYARD is a part of BLRT REPAIR YARDS, which unite three ship repair yards in Klaipėda (Lithuania), Tallinn (Estonia) and Turku (Finland).

Design and technical support, repair, maintenance and retrofit of different types of vessels are yards` main activities which are provided at a highest level.
