Norwegians keep Eastern European yards afloat

摘要

The repair activity at yards in Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria is fluctuating at moderate activity levels according to Loizos Isaias, of DNV GL. However: "The repair activity in Ukraine has been significantly reduced due to the political situation in the country' he adds. Newbuilding yards are mainly found in Turkey, Italy, Romania, Croatia and Ukraine. Yards are busy with the construction of various small-size specialised vessels, mainly for Norwegian owners, but also with the construction of hulls intended for completion at Norwegian yards, Isaias explains.
