Welcome to Hellesøy Verft

Situated at the beautiful Hardanger Fjord of Norway, Løfallstrand is a great place to live and to build ships.

From the first small wooden boat in 1945 to the modern fishing and offshore vessels today, Hellesøy Verft, member of Norske Skipsverft, has continually evolved and modernized, focusing on quality workmanship and a lean and flexible organization.
At Løfallstrand we can outfit ships up to 100m. We normally buy the ship design from one of the leading Norwegian ship consultants, like Wärtsilä Ship Design and buy the hull from low-cost countries. We have a core crew of 30 employees, and an excellent network of subcontractors and specialists in Norway and abroad that allows us to increase capacity to over 100 persons on demand.

The layout at Hellesøy Verft is very compact and efficient with short walking distances.

Hellesøy Verft is an outfitting yard that will normally handle the main shipbuilding contract, buy the hull elsewhere, and coordinate the project and outfit the vessel at our pier. Typical ship sizes are LOA=50-90m, but we have outfitted ships with LOA up to 115 m.

During the most busy outfitting periods, our infrastructure has handled a total workforce of 250 persons (permanent and project crew + subcontractors and specialists).
