Kleven Vaerft AS

Formerly recognized as Kleven Vaerft AS, Green Yard Kleven marks its presence on the serene Dimnøya island situated in Ulstein, in the Møre og Romsdal region of Norway. Boasting a heritage deeply intertwined with the maritime culture of western Norway, Green Yard Kleven has flourished into a pivotal force within the realm of ship construction. The shipyard is distinguished by its expertise in the fabrication of a diverse collection of seafaring vessels, encompassing supply vessels, passenger ferries, RoPax ships, luxury megayachts, cruise liners, and pioneering hybrid propulsion expedition ships. Green Yard Kleven is celebrated for its ingenuity and technical mastery, particularly evidenced by the construction of the state-of-the-art hybrid cruise vessels Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen for Hurtigruten AS. These feats underscore the shipyard's dedication to innovative, eco-friendly maritime construction techniques.

In the consequential month of July 2020, Green Yard Kleven underwent a significant metamorphosis, transitioning to new ownership under the Green Yard Group, a frontrunner in ship recycling in Norway, after navigating through bankruptcy. This strategic acquisition not only preserved the esteemed shipbuilding heritage of Kleven but also ushered in a phase of broadened operational scope to encompass ship recycling. As an integral component of the Green Yard Group, the shipyard has become a comprehensive maritime services entity within Norway, proffering a suite of services that includes the creation and refurbishment of ships, as well as rig servicing and recycling endeavors. The amalgamation into Green Yard Group signifies a forward-thinking approach towards sustainability and business diversification, mirroring the global shift towards eco-conscious ship disposal methods. Green Yard Kleven remains devoted to maintaining superlative standards in HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) and quality assurance, whilst venturing into new maritime industry domains.
