Shipbuilding

The ship building history at WESTERN SHIPYARD began in 1998, when the first fishing vessel ”Vendla“ was built. Our daughter company WESTERN BALTIJA SHIPBUILDING was established in August 2010, when two largest Lithuanian ship building companies Western Shipbuilding Yard and “Baltija” Shipbuilding Yard have merged.
