BLRT Western Shipyard (Vakarų laivų gamykla) is a shipyard in Klaipėda, Lithuania. The company belongs to the Estonian company BLRT Grupp and provides shipbuilding and repair services in the Baltic region.
In 1952, during the Soviet occupation, a new shipyard called Baltijos laivų statykla (Baltija Shipbuilding Yard) was established. [2] In 1969, another shipyard called Vakarų laivų remonto gamykla (Western Ship Repair Factory) was built. [3] Following the restoration of independence, the government of Lithuania privatized the shipyards. In 1997, Baltijos laivų statykla was sold to a Danish company Odense Steel Shipyard, while in 2001 Vakarų laivų remonto gamykla was sold to the Estonian company BLRT Grupp. [4] [3] In 2010, the Baltijos laivų statykla was taken over by the BLRT Grupp, thus merging both shipyards under the Western Baltija Shipbuilding within the Western Shipyard Group. [4] [5]
The main activities of the company are shipbuilding, ship repair and conversion, complex ship design and engineering as well as metal construction. [6]
In 2011, the shipyard built the largest LNG-powered Norwegian ferry MF Boknafjord. [7] [8]
In June 2020, the largest floating dock (235 m long and 45 m wide, with lifting capacity of 33,000 tons) in the Baltic States was installed in the shipyard. [9]
