The Odense Staalskibsværft (also Lindøværft ) was a Danish shipyard near Odense on Funen . She belonged to the AP Møller-Mærsk group.
history
The shipyard was built by AP Møller from 1918 to 1919. The first ship built was the steamship Robert Mærsk in 1920 .
In 1954, Odense Staalskibsværft delivered the turbine tanker Regina Mærsk, their largest ship to date, which was given the typical blue outer hull paint for the first time.
Between 1957 and 1959 a new, larger shipyard was built in Munkebo , just outside Odense. No more ships have been manufactured on the old shipyard site since 1966, when production was completely relocated to the new site.
The new shipyard had several docks. Docks I and II, with a size of 300 × 45 × 7.5 meters each, enabled the production of tankers up to 100,000 dwt .
In 1967 Dock III was completed, which, with a size of 415 × 90 meters and an 800-ton crane (95 m high, 148.5 m radius), enabled the production of tankers of the VLCC and ULCC classes (oil tankers over 200,000 tons are referred to as VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier), tankers over 320,000 tons as ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier)). The largest ships planned were two 500,000 dwt tankers, but they were never built.
In July 1974 the Odens shipyard delivered the 330,000 tdw tanker Kristine Mærsk , the largest European tanker at the time. Six more ships of this class were built by 1977.
From 1979 to 1980 six were RoRo ships of Elisabeth Mærsk class produced in 1980 the first container ship . In 1988 the Marchen Mærsk was built; At 4,300 TEU, she was the world's largest container ship at the time. Eleven more ships of this class followed by 1991.
In December 1992 the world's first 300,000 dwt double hull tanker was produced; by 1995 five more such tankers. In January 1996 the first post-Panamax container ship was ready.
On December 3, 1999, the large crane fell into the dock after a hurricane and damaged the new ship no. 170. In April 2001, a new 1,000-tonne crane from MAN TAKRAF was installed.
From April 1997 the shipyard owned 98.5% of the shares in the Lithuanian shipyard Baltijos Laivo Statykla . In September 1997 the Odense shipyard built the Sovereign Mærsk, the world's first 8,000 TEU freighter for Mærsk.
From 2006 to 2008 the shipyard built the eight Emma Mærsk class container ships, each with a capacity of 14,770 TEU , which were the largest ships of their kind until the CMA CGM Marco Polo was commissioned in November 2012.
The shipyards in Lithuania were sold in 2010.
In 2010 Fayard A / S moved from Fredericia to the shipyard in Munkebo.
Due to persistent losses, it was decided to close the shipyard in February 2012 after completion of all remaining orders.
The last newbuild on Lindøværft was HDMS Niels Juel , a frigate for the Danish Navy , which entered service in 2012.
