During more than 60 years we slowly and safely have adjusted our course. Today we are a complete shipyard, specialized in repair and maintenance.
We have reached our destination. Coasters, special purpose vessels and vintage ships arre our daily guests.
Mats Gotenius, Managing director
AB Gotenius Shipyard is a ship repair centrally located in Gothenburg. The business is built around two floating docks and one slipway.The largest dock can take vessels up to 110 meters long and 15 meters in width, well above maximum measure for passage in Trollhättan canal, passage of ships sailing in Sweden's largest lake Vänern.
Totally we drydock more than 100 vessels per year, ranging from workboats of 10 meters in length up to coastal tanker of 5,000 dwt.
In addition to traditional maritime repairs we also do all types of work on vessels such as fishing, sightseeing boats, cruise ships, ferries, work boats, tugs, dredgers, barges etc.
Historically, the Transport Administration's Ferry Shipping (state ferries) are the shipyard's largest and mo
st important customer.
More recently, we have developed another new specialty, which is to work with vintage vessels. The yard master, among other, the riveting technique for joining hull plates.
The shipyard's expertise has also got attention outside Sweden and several Norwegian vintage ships have visited the shipyard with projects partially financed by the Norwegian National Antiquities.
Norsk Veteranskipsklub is a recurring customer and in the spring 2012 we will again see D / S Böröysund to visit our yard.
