that has since been renamed Tersan Havyard. As Silje notes, this acquisition has tremendously enhanced Tersan Havyard’ s capabilities across almost every aspect of operations.“ It expands our ability to take on projects and greatly enhances our competitiveness. Several factors contribute to our competitive edge: we have control over the value chain, and hull construction is performed in-house rather than through third-parties. Both shipyards excel in their respective specialties, and by combining our strengths, Tersan Havyard gains incredible flexibility in project management. In practical terms, we can adapt our production during the project phase based on which yard has available capacity that fits the specific project needs. By uniting our capabilities between the Turkish and Norwegian shipyards, we offer exceptional flexibility and ensure high-quality project execution for our customers,” she adds.
Unique project portfolio
Soon after its acquisition by Tersan Shipyard at the tail end of 2023, Tersan Havyard secured a newbuild contract to construct a hybrid workboat for Nordlaks, a Norwegian aquaculture company.“ This project marks the first newbuilding initiative signed after we came under our Turkish ownership. The vessel is unique in many ways, but it holds quite a special significance for us because we constructed the whole vessel at our own yard while also developing the entire value chain within our Norwegian facility, a model that we do not employ very often. Despite its relatively small size, the vessel boasts enormous capacities, serving as an offshore workboat with a tumblehome. This is an exciting project that we have now delivered, which makes us very proud. I believe that as a service vessel for the aquaculture industry, it stands out in many ways due to its unique features: it offers substantial
