SHIP REPAIR
EnTech Marine has proudly taken over Vestkajens Maskinværksted in Hirtshals, carrying forward its strong tradition of high-quality ship repair and steelwork. By retaining the skilled and experienced employees who built Vestkajen’s reputation, we ensure continuity, craftsmanship, and reliable service — now strengthened with EnTech Marine’s global expertise and wider service portfolio.
Our Ship Repair Department delivers full-scale maintenance and repair solutions for all types of vessels. We handle hull repairs, deck construction, steel fabrication, piping, hydraulics, and machining, carried out either onboard or in our well-equipped workshop in Hirtshals.
With our own slipways, we can bring vessels ashore for extensive repairs and modifications, ensuring safe and efficient access to all parts of the ship. Our workshops are located directly next to the berth facilities, enabling fast turnaround for onboard services.
Whether it’s routine maintenance, emergency repair, or structural modifications, our certified welders, fabricators, and technicians ensure every project complies with maritime standards. In close cooperation with trusted subcontractors, we also provide complete vessel service packages — giving shipowners a single point of contact for all repair needs.
