Pipe fabrication and cold bending
Our cold bending process results in pipes of consistent quality and long service life. The process shapes the pipes without heating, preserving the material properties and reducing internal stresses. At the same time, it minimises the need for welded joints, increasing structural integrity and reducing the risk of leaks.
Through our affiliated company, we also offer hot-dip galvanising, an effective, long-term corrosion protection solution for steel structures and components.
Pipe bending and prefabrication of pipe systems
Extensive experience – reliable deliveries
Since 1996, the pipe department at Ulstein Verft has delivered prefabricated piping systems for vessels. The service was established to ensure control over a critical part of the shipbuilding supply chain and has since developed into an important part of our overall delivery capability
Fast start-up – simple and efficient
With us, pipe production can start quickly. There is no need to supply ISO drawings; images and a few basic measurements are all we require to begin production. This saves time and ensures a smooth process.
Broad expertise – services for shipyards and other industries
We provide services for internal projects and external customers. With extensive experience from newbuilds and aftermarket assignments at our shipyard, we have also performed a wide range of projects for customers across different industries. We are a reliable and flexible partner, and you are always welcome to get in touch.

Cold bending
We offer short production lead times, extensive experience and a DNV-certified production facility. Our pipe bending machines handle pipes from ND50 to ND200.
Cold bending has several advantages:
- Improved quality
- The production process results in lower stress in the pipe
- Increased safety
- Fewer welded joints and reduced risk of leaks
- Better for the environment
- Reduced waste and energy consumption lower costs and minimise environmental impact
- Shorter delivery time
- Efficient production ensures short lead times
Hot-dip galvanising
We offer hot-dip galvanising services through our wholly owned subsidiary, Vestsink, a specialised provider with more than 50 years of experience. Galvanising provides effective, long-term corrosion protection for steel structures and components, supporting durability and reduced maintenance over the vessel or asset lifecycle.
Crane lift and transport
Ulstein Verft specialises in heavy lift and transportation services. Our flexible equipment solves many lifting and transportation challenges on land and at sea.
Aftermarket services
Stay competitive with our aftermarket services.
Shipowners and operators face a rapidly changing maritime industry. They meet new and stricter regulatory requirements, and operations must be more sustainable and energy-efficient. Further, vessels must ensure maximum value throughout their lifecycle.
Ulstein Verft yard facilities
Ulstein Verft is a compact, complete shipyard to serve your needs, with services also available off-site.
Dry dock and dock hall
The controlled environment within a dry dock provides an optimal setting for ship construction and ship repair projects. Shielded from the elements, our workers can operate safely and efficiently, unfazed by inclement weather or turbulent waters. This climate-controlled haven ensures precise measurements and fittings and enhances the vessels' longevity and durability, reinforcing our commitment to delivering uncompromising quality.
Shore power capacity
Efficient shore power solutions for modern ship needs.
Surface preparation and priming
We provide prepaint surface treatment for hulls and parts. Our dock hall offers a controlled indoor environment for the painting process.
Crane lift and transport
Ulstein Verft specialises in heavy lift and transportation services. Our flexible equipment solves many lifting and transportation challenges on land and at sea.
Mobilisation and demobilisation of equipment
At Ulstein Verft, we offer excellent logistics for effectively mobilising and demobilising equipment and tools for vessels such as subsea vessels, anchor-handling tug supply vessels and cable-laying vessels.
