History
In 1952, during the Soviet occupation, a new shipyard called Script error: No such module "Lang". (Baltija Shipbuilding Yard) was established.[1] In 1969, another shipyard called Script error: No such module "Lang". (Western Ship Repair Factory) was built.[2] 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.[3][2] 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.[3][4]
Activities
The main activities of the company are shipbuilding, ship repair and conversion, complex ship design and engineering as well as metal construction.[5]
In 2011, the shipyard built the largest LNG-powered Norwegian ferry MF Boknafjord.[6][7]
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.[8]
