Sterkoder Verft

Kristiansund has been known for its shipbuilding skills since the 1800s. As a major exporter of timber and fish,

Kristiansund always had connections with the world's most important trad- ing centers. Sterkoder Verft embodies that tradition in the vessels it builds. "Aktieselskabet Staerkoder" was es- tablished in 1916 as a continuation of

Bjornehougens Vasrft, founded in 1824.

A separate foundry and engineering workshop were built at the yard, and the company produced diesel engines, which were given the name "Staerkodder."

Inthel930s the yard was reorganized and named Sterkoder Mek Verksted AS.

At the time, repair and maintenance work were the yard's main activities.

Today, the company is a medium-sized shipyard with high professional stan- dards, and an organization well-equipped to deal with the construction of special- ized vessels.

The yard's advanced computer-aided design (CAD) department, along with its planning, purchasing and produc- tion departments, is upgraded and mod- ernized on a continuous basis.

Sterkoder's specialized workshops are engaged in the prefabrication of pipes and equipment as well as in the assem- bly of structure sections.

Indoor production of large sections of structures and surface treatment in a separate workshop under controlled cli- matic conditions are important sectors of the yard's strategy for delivering com- petitive products of high quality.

Strict inspection routines through- out the building process, as well as test- ing, are important elements in the pro- duction of reliable vessels. Documen- tary records of results and capacities are reviewed in detail to ensure that opera- tions of the vessels will be based on a sound technical background.

An efficient plant with advanced pro- duction systems, together with

Sterkoder's efficient workforce, is the company's best guarantee of quality from design stage through completed vessel. Sterkoder vessels are built to provide good work places for their crews and sound investments for their own- ers.
