Odense Steel Shipyard
Denmark
Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd. which is a part of A.P.
Moller - Maersk Group was established in 1917-18 by Shipowner A.P.
Møller. From the beginning the yard was situated in Odense at Odense
Canal and had a capacity of vessels up to 40,000 tonnes deadweight,
which was sufficient until the mid 1950's. However, when the American oil company California Shipping Company ordered a series of large tankers of 50,000 tonnes deadweight, it was decided to enlarge the yard’s capacity considerably. Consequently, the location of the old yard was given up and in 1957 the work of building a new and much larger yard at Lindø began. In 1959 the new shipyard was ready with a maximum capacity of vessels of up to 200,000 tonnes deadweight, a maximum which was thought more than sufficiently for years to come. However, in 1968 the world saw the first supertankers. Consequently a new and again much larger drydock was built in 1969, and this time the maximum capacity was increased to 650,000 tonnes deadweight, a capacity which has proven itself sufficient. |
