Abeking & Rasmussen:115 Years of Shipbuilding Excellence

Since the foundation of the shipyard more than 115 years ago, Abeking & Rasmussen (A&R) has built 6,500 sailing and motor yachts, naval vessels, and special ships. The shipyard, which car-ries out development, design and construction in-house in Lem-werder, supplies customers all over the world. A&R can build yachts and ships up to 125 m in length. Last year, the largest yacht to date was delivered to its owner. The 118-m yacht, named »Liva°«, is an elegant beauty with a striking black hull.

Furthermore, last year the Lemwerder-based shipbuilder also handed over the next generation of minehunting vessels made of high-strength, non-magnetic steel to the Indonesian Navy. This soph-isticated material was processed using an innovative 3D laser welding process. In the history of A&R, more than 360 units have been devel-oped, designed and built for navies all over the world. The Indonesian Navy has already placed another order, the company reports.

In December 2022, A&R was commissioned to build a 105 m hydrographic vessel. As the ship concept is based on a proven Fassmer design, the project has been handled jointly from the be-ginning. The new vessel will be used for various research ac-tivities in the world’s largest archipelago state. It will also be used to enhance SAR capabilities in Indonesian and international waters. The client is the Indonesian Institute of Hydrography »Bantu Hidro-Oseanografi« (BHO). The vessel will be operated by the Indonesian Navy. Delivery is scheduled for December 2025. A&R is also currently building three multi-purpose vessels of approximately 100 m length for the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration of Germany. These special ships will be the first in the world to be powered exclusively by LNG for oper-ation in hazardous atmospheres.
