The shipyard features a covered dock, a covered slip, and a great Syncrolift shiplift system.
With a dedicated team of 50 employees, Skarvik Shipyard is delivering high-quality, efficient services to its clients. They pride themselves in speed and efficiency, witch is important for the region's fishing industry where you have to be on the fish when the fish is there. The shipyard is renowned for its comprehensive ship repair and maintenance capabilities, ensuring vessels are operational with minimal downtime.
Syncrolift loves how proactive and futureminded this shipyard operates. Being part of the fishing industry in Northern Norway, where conditions are harsh and vessels need to be operational to harvest the fish, they use Syncrolift's Fast Docking solutions to great effect.
They are a great example of how smaller shipyards can operate smarter with a modern shiplift.
