LÜRSSEN in Bremen / Germany
Under its roof, the LÜRSSEN Group has more than 1200 employees. The group comprises Friedrich Fr. LÜRSSEN Werft , Kröger Werft, Neue Jade-Werft, LÜRSSEN Logistics and others and has for decades been one of the most important partners of the Federal German Navy having delivered more than 400 boats and ships.
The product portfolio of these firms range from fast patrol boats and corvettes to frigates as well as modern mine hunting and clearance vessels, public service vessels, supply and auxiliary ships up to 20,000 tons. The LÜRSSEN Group's capability of integrating complex systems such as fire control and defence systems as well as helicopters onto compact fast patrol boats and corvettes is unique. The necessary logistic components such as documentation, spare parts supply and technical and operational training are provided by LÜRSSEN Logistics. The Kröger Yard at Kiel Canal LÜRSSEN Logistics maintains its own training centre in Lemwerder with residential accommodation, classrooms, laboratories and simulators. LÜRSSEN is known as a pioneer of semi – displacement hulls and their consequent light construction techniques, both basic conditions in order to achieve high speed with optimum sea-going capabilities. The shipyard's reputation of building fast and high-performance ships applies not only to naval vessels but also anywhere else in ship construction where high speed and optimum sea-going capabilities are required. This is of special importance for the yachts, lifesaving vessels, customs and coastguard boat as well as single hull ferries in

LÜRSSEN's range of products. The consequent utilisation of technical achievements between the various naval and civilian construction programmes permanently ensures LÜRSSEN's leading position in the global market. The design building and air-conditioned building and fitting-out sheds are located on a site of about 225,000 m² on the banks of the Weser opposite the main administration block, the LÜRSSEN Group's head office. Since 1999 on taking over the large covered dock and workshops from Bremer Vulkan, LÜRSSEN has been able to build and fit-out ships of up to 170 m length and 25,000 tdw completely under cover unaffected by outer environmental conditions. LÜRSSEN also owns a 220 m long floating dock since Corvette K 130 for the German Navy autumn 2004. Fr. LÜRSSEN Werft is therefore in addition to development also best equipped to deal with the construction and modernisation of large ships such as the new corvettes and frigates of the Federal German Navy. Kröger Werft in Rendsburg has belonged to the LÜRSSEN Group from the 1980s as a daughter undertaking. Kröger Werft has much experience in the design, construction and repair merchant shipping, supply ships, public service vessels and also mega yachts. Amongst other items, the 702 class supply ships "Berlin" and "Frankfurt am Main" were fitted-out and delivered from Kröger Werft. LÜRSSEN Yachts has built up a magnificent reputation by the building of high-value 40 to 150 m mega yachts. They are built exclusively in accordance with the owner's wishes. The combination of constant innovation over the previous 130 years, high quality and the committed and discrete staff, especially with regard to close co-operation with owners, are much appreciated by the customers. Having more than 100 engineers, LÜRSSEN Yachts is in the position of meeting the big challenges of their demanding customers. Replenishment between Supply Vessel „BERLIN“ and a Fregatte Type F123

As well as building new yachts, the LÜRSSEN Group is a reliable partner in the areas of repair refitting and modifications. These items can be carried out either directly at a LÜRSSEN Group shipyard or by service works wherever the yacht is located. It does not matter where the yacht is, a specially trained mobile service team can carry out the work.
