history

In 1903 the Adolph Harloff & Co. shipyard was founded in Duisburg-Ruhrort. The shipyard was handed over to the French state as a reparation payment in 1918 and was operated by the "Forges de Strasbourg". With French capital, the Triton shipyard was built in 1925 on the premises of the Harloff brothers. It mainly built inland freighters and tugs for French navigation on the Rhine. During the time of the Third Reich , the shipyard was placed under Reich trust from 1939 to 1945. The French owners reopened the shipyard in 1946 for their national interests. With the coaster “Niederrhein” (1955), the shipyard's only ocean-going vessel was built. In 1963 the new ship was stopped in favor of a real repair shop. A total of 296 new buildings had been built by then. The French gave up the shipyard in 1972.

In 2002 the leasehold contract that a Mr. Mause had concluded with the property owners expired on the one hand, and on the other hand, Mr. Mause died that year. The shipyard was reopened in mid-2003 by new shareholders from the Netherlands under the name "Triton Schiffbau GmbH". In February 2005 the new tanker "Julius Rütgers" was completed at the shipyard and handed over to the client, the shipping company Jaegers . It was a technically remarkable new building with tanks that could be heated up to 240 ° C for the transport of coal tar pitch . The Dutch gave up operations in 2007.

On July 1st, the shareholders changed again and the shipyard was named Neue Triton Schiffs-Werft . Petronella Jacobs initially entered as the sole shareholder and was able to win the shipbuilding engineer Nikolaus Schellenberger (most recently from Lehnkering and from the Erlenbach shipbuilding dynasty) as sole managing director. In the meantime, Julian Jacobs replaced his still active mother as the sole shareholder.

Ronald Schröder, who has been managing director since July 2011, left the shipyard in March 2012. Petronella Jacobs wants to take over management of the company again.

In June 2015, the shipyard, under the management of Petronella Jacobs, made headlines in the local press in connection with the exploitation of Romanian shipyard workers.

At the beginning of August 2015, the Neue Triton shipyard filed an application to open insolvency proceedings due to insolvency. On September 29, 2015, the shipyard boss Petronella Jacobs distributed an “indictment” at the inland shipping fair in Kalkar, in which she made a single client responsible for the shipyard's bankruptcy.

In mid-August 2015 the shipyard was taken over by Jacobs Formstahl GmbH. Today the shipyard bears the name "Triton Werft Jacobs Formstahl GmbH" and is managed by Julian Jacobs.
