New shipyard at Aarhus harbour
YARDS: Within the last ten years it has become more and more difficult to run a shipyard in Aarhus. At first it was Aarhus' floating dock which went bankrupt in 1999 and eight years after Aarhus Shipyard suffered the same fate. Now, a new shipyard is due to be build in Aarhus.
Aros Maritime is now kick starting the work on the dock with a brand new theory.
"We have seen the opportunity to start a maintenance and repair shipyard", says the director of the new shipyard, Michael Oestergaard.
According to Aros Maritime, which is the name of the new shipyard, Aarhus harbour is well fitted for this type of shipyard, as it is a good match to the ships which port here. Therefore, Aros Maritime hopes to avoid loosing the ships to other harbours.
Michael Oestergaard hops to hire app. 50 employees, plus the double at the shipyards under suppliers.
