The Schiffswerft Diedrich GmbH is a shipyard based in the district of Oldersum of the unitary community Moormerland . The main focus of the operation is on ship repairs and maintenance, especially of regional ferries and vehicles on the Wadden Sea. Furthermore, new constructions of ferries, mudflat and inland vehicles and wind farm suppliers are also offered. The shipyard has shipbuilding and repair halls as well as a slipway for ships up to 70 meters in length, 14 meters in width and a draft of up to two and a half meters.
history
For his extensive fleet of ships, Wilhelm Hemsoth, owner of a freight forwarding company in Witten, acquired a repair yard in Oldersum in 1917, which from 1923 also delivered some new buildings. They were small tugs and peniches that were delivered to the reparations account . In 1926 the shipyard had to file for bankruptcy and was taken over by Julius Diedrich, the technical inspector of the Hemsoth shipping company
The company was renamed J. Diedrich and initially focused on the ship repair business again and began in the 1930s with small inland freighters, Kümos, Prahmen and the passenger ship Frisia XIV, which was delivered to AG Reederei Norden-Frisia in 1939. After the Second World War, the company operated as Schiffswerft Julius Diedrich GmbH . In the 1950s, in addition to ship repairs, larger numbers of new ferries, fishing vessels, barges, coasters and bunker tankers followed. The sizes offered grew in the post-war decades, for example for inland vessels from 400 loading tons in the mid-1950s to 1500 tons after the expansion of the shipyard port in autumn 1974, after which larger ships up to 90 meters long and 14 meters wide could be offered. To this day, however, the focus has remained on small special ships and individual structures. The shipyard was run by Julius and Günter Diedrich at the beginning of 1978 and had 85 employees. In the peak times up to the end of the 1980s the workforce comprised over 100 employees, in 1990 80 people were still employed and in 1995 there were still around 70 employees. In 1998 the company went bankrupt. From June 1998 to June 2000 the two owners Günter Diedrich and Jens Diedrich liquidated the company, which was re-established in June 2000 and traded as Schiffswerft Diedrich GmbH & Co. KG . At the end of May 2016, the company was re-established as Schiffswerft Diedrich GmbH with new shareholders and is still being run today with around 20 employees.
