Solund Verft

Solund Verft is a shipyard in Hardbakke, Norway, offering repair, conversion, maintenance and equipment of new builds. Departments cover machine and engine work, surface treatment with high-pressure water blasting, steel, aluminium and tubing work, and a boat hotel where private owners store boats over winter with optional maintenance and hull treatment. Electrical work is handled through a partner.

The yard's facility includes a Syncrolift dock with a 1000-ton lifting capacity for vessels up to 75 metres, two ship halls (the largest 65 metres long) and about 200 metres of quay. It works mainly on ferries, fishing vessels, coastal shipping vessels, wellboats, work boats and special vessels, and docks over 100 vessels a year. Customers named on the site include Fjord1, Norled, the Norwegian Armed Forces, Firda Sjøfarmer, Marine Harvest, Artic Shipping and Wergeland Group. Some assignments are carried out away from the yard.

The company was founded in 2003 and is part of Wergeland Group, which also runs environmental services, freight and cable ferries, concrete and an industrial area in Gulen. Solund Verft has around 30 own employees, including engineers, mechanics, welders and plate workers, and hires additional manpower when needed.
