Shipyard and machine factory Mainz-Gustavsburg
From 1908 this shipyard was called Schiffswerft und Maschinenfabrik Mainz-Gustavsburg, or shipyard Gustavsburg for short . Mainly small gravel barges, barges and, more rarely, tugboats were still built. Pontoons and bridge pontoons were also created for surrounding clients. From the 1930s onwards, inland freighters from 500 to 1000 t were increasingly built for changing shipowners . Some inland tankers were also launched here. In the 1960s and 1970s, in addition to pontoons and collapsible barges, larger inland tankers and inland freighters up to 2000 t were built. Particularly interesting new buildings were inspection boats that were built from 1965 onwards as direction finding and measuring vessels for the waterways and shipping authorities (WSA) and port construction authorities at the shipyard. Here are e.g. B. to mention the inspection boats Anger and Bussard , which are listed with the most important technical data (however without reference to the shipyard) in the list of ships of the waterways and shipping authorities .
From 1986 the shipbuilding orders were missing and in 1989 the shipyard went bankrupt.
