Odense Steel Shipyard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Odense Steel Shipyard (Danish: Odense Staalskibsværft) located in Odense, Denmark was constructed in 1918–1919 by the A.P. Møller company. A new yard with bigger and better facilities was constructed 1957–1959 on a new site located in Munkebo a few kilometres outside of Odense proper. Odense Steel Shipyard is the largest yard within the Odense Steel Shipyard Group, which also consists of two yards and an engineering company, all situated in the Baltics. The yard is known for designing and building innovative vessels that apply the newest technology in design and equipment.

Since 1996 the Yard has built the world's largest container vessels.

Because of the innovative products developed at Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd., the company is widely recognised as an influential voice in the shipbuilding community.

The original shipyard remained in operation until 1966 when all operations were transferred to the new site. Unlike the modern shipyard, the old yard produced civilian and merchant vessels only. Its first completed ship was cargo steamship Robert Mærsk, completed in 1920. Its last production was no. 177, bulkcarrier Laura Mærsk.

[edit] The new Odense Steel Shipyard (the "Lindø" Yard)

The new shipyard originally had two building docks no. I and II (300 x 45 x 7,5 metres each) allowing the construction of tankers with up to 100,000 metric tons of deadweight (DWT). The Yard was enlarged in 1967 including a new very large building dock No. III (415 x 90 metres) and a great 800 ton., 95 Meters high, 148,5 Meters span gantry crane was added allowing the construction of tankers in VLCC and ULCC class. The largest construction planned on the yard were two 500,000 DWT tankers, but this order was later canceled. From the 1960s until 1977 the yard only constructed oil tankers (no larger than 330,000 DWT.) as well as bulk carriers. The first RORO ship was built in 1979, and the first container ship in 1980. In Dec. 1992, the yard completed the world's first 300,000 tdw double-hull tanker. In Jan.1996 they delivered its first Post-Panamax container ship. In Dec, 3rd, 1999 the gantry crane crashed after a hurricane in the building dock and damaged the ship newbuild No.170, which was nonetheless repaired and delivered two month later. MAN-TAKRAF; Leipzig / Germany delivered a new 1000 ton., 110 Meter high gantry crane in April of 2001.
