Lloyd Werft

Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven GmbH is a dockyard in Bremerhaven. It was founded in 1863 by the shipping company Norddeutscher Lloyd, first mainly used as a repair workshop for the company’s own merchant fleet. This new yard was established in exchange and addition to the former small Lloyd-workshop in Bremen which was already founded in 1857.

In the 1970s, the shipyard became member of the Vulkan Group.

Today, the Lloyd-yard is the only greater dockyard which survived in Bremerhaven. It employs 500 workers in an area of 260.000 m². Ships with a draught down to 11,5 m can be accommodated.The yard concentrates its activities only on repair, maintenance and reconstruction of ships.

In 2015, Genting Hong Kong, a Hong-Kong based holding company whose brands had a total of 10 ships on order from Lloyd Werft at the time, purchased a majority stake in Lloyd Werft. In 2016, Genting purchased the remaining 30% of Lloyd Werft, as well as Nordic Yards' Wismar, Warnemunde, and Stralsund shipyards, and combined them to form the Lloyd Werft Group.
