About

Since Neptun Werft bundled all its activities at the Warnemünde site in 2000, it has consistently invested in shipyards. In 2003, new assembly halls were put into operation. Since then the ships can be built independent of the weather, which ensures a consistently high quality and planning security.

When the shipyard first worked with a floating dock, a new lowering device was used for the first time in September 2006. Large and heavy components, which are manufactured in the halls, can now be easily put into water with this device. The pontoon, made of concrete, with steel stabilization boxes, which ensure the rigidity of the system when lowered, has a length of 150 meters and a width of 55 meters.

The device is equipped with a 50 ton crane and the necessary pumps, winches and measuring devices so that it can also be used as a dock if necessary. The river cruise ships under construction are being further equipped on the pontoon. For this purpose, the new lowering device is located on the edge of the quay and can be operated with the two 60-ton land cranes located there.

In 2006, a new training hall was also completed. Directly attached to the large production halls, the workshop is located centrally on the shipyard. On more than 700 m² of space, the different areas of education are arranged according to the latest findings. The office of the trainers is placed in the middle of the hall, so that there is always a close contact between trainees and trainers.

The Neptun Werft continues to adapt the production facilities to current requirements. This will create another workshop building in 2013, with the aim of bundling the workshop activities, creating additional office space and thus setting up new building sites in Hall 7.

The shipyard systems with the covered production hall, the modern production facilities, the lowering system and the concept of short distances make a significant contribution to the success of the shipyard.
