The shipyard Hans Boost, Trier, Maschinen- und Stahlbau GmbH & Co. KG is a shipyard founded in 1920 with headquarters in Trier .
history
At the small shipyard in the south of the city, over 27 Moselle ferries, gravel and ferry boats, motor boats and dredgers were built by 1949. All kinds of steel construction and locksmith work were carried out here. When the Moselle was to be made navigable around 1950 and substantiated with the Moselle Treaty of 1956, Hans Boost decided to build a new, more efficient shipyard at the current location in the north of the city. The Moselle Treaty was a post-war swap deal in which France returned the Saarland to the Federal Republic and Germany accepted the Moselle canalization in its area.
In 1958, the founder's son, Schiffbau-Ing. Ernst-Eugen Boost in the company, he should take care of the export, which was previously idle. That changed and it was exported to 17 countries over the next 25 years. There were also orders from the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration and the Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement (BWB).
After reunification , the shipyard, like other shipyard operations, received fewer newbuilding orders and increased activities in the other ship-related areas such as service, class work, basic repairs , new engines and lengthening of inland vessels and also the design and construction of hulls for other shipyards. In addition, the steel construction area was strengthened and expanded. The areas of container construction, plant construction and heavy-duty transport systems with a load capacity of up to 1000 t played an important role in addition to shipbuilding and thus the construction department could also be retained.
Building program
Around 130 new ships were built and delivered by 1990, and until 1970 they rarely had more than 100 cargo tons. The construction program comprised almost all types of inland waterway vessels, at the beginning it was particularly small barges and booms. From 1964 crane ships and car ferries such as B. the crown to this. After the Moselle canalisation, the ships became significantly larger, the inland freighter Stolzeneck , which was delivered in 1970, already has a carrying capacity of 1,500 t. The inland freighters Franca and Vigilia , which were delivered in 1979 and 1980, have a carrying capacity of 2850 t. In 1985, five tow barges and from 1984 to 1987 twelve 150 t oil barges were delivered to the BWB.
