The breakthrough

Back in 1993-94 Marin Teknikk experienced its first large success with the new type offshore vessel – the MT6000 series.

With frequency controlled diesel electric propulsion, characteristic Super-structure, Bulbus bow, closed Cargo rail and Safe Heaven, a new standard was born.

In the early times

Before the breakthrough, Marin Teknikk was focusing on smaller projects for local customers within the maritime cluster.

Construction work and following up conversions and ship newbuildings was the main activity the first years. In 1984 the company built its own office at Dragsund Industriområde and when slowly growing into the -90’s., there was more and more construction- and detail drawings work to be done.

A new generation offshore vessels ...

In the coming years, a new vessel generation was constructed and by year 2005, Marin Teknikk had designed around 25 newbuilt offshore vessels.

... and a series of fishing vessels

Marin Teknikk also designed several fishing vessels in this period. Later on, a wider range of fishing vessel has been designed, for different market segments.

Bumps in the road

Challenging times arrived in 2003 and a whole industry was struggling. Despite that, Marin Teknikk managed to grow further in strong competition with other ship design agencies.

Rebuilding and growing market segments

Thanks to several larger rebuilding’s and an increasing need for new vessel designs, Marin Teknikk managed to overcome the difficult times and continued the positive trend.

Good times ahead

The following years become good for Marin Teknikk. The company expanded its design range to cover most of the different segments in the Oil & Gas industry, and at the same time looking into some new market segments.

The company grows

A rapidly growing industry led to an even larger organization, followed by new requests from new market segments. In 2013 Marin Teknikk secures a new contract for a high specification 107m explorer yacht.

Industry markets in change

Every now and then, the vessel segments changes, and once again the Offshore market turns down while the Fish and Aqua service market is rapidly raising.

The Autonomous era

By designing the world first Autonomous Cargo vessel, Marin Teknikk was once again up front in the development of Autonomous vessels. The Yara Birkeland vessel will also be the first fully electric cargo vessel in the world.
