The dimensions of our dock hall at Ulstein Verft measure 140 metres in length and 55 metres in width, and a good fit for many projects. But shipbuilding has no such thing as one size fits all. If the facilities at our yard are unsuitable for your project requirements, we can still be of service. 

We offer shipyard support and system integration services globally, collaborating with numerous yards across various continents. Rest assured that our expertise and support can be readily extended to meet your specific needs, regardless of your location.
