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.
