Expanding Orskov Yard's office facilities to support our customers' activities 🏗️

We are currently developing 500 square meters on the previously unused first floor of a relatively new building in the northern part of our yard, converting the space into modern, purpose-built office facilities above our workshop area.

The goal is clear: to ensure that visiting inspectors have access to professional environments that facilitate effective decision-making and close collaboration during their stay at our yard. A key part of the project is the establishment of new, modern meeting facilities, including two meeting rooms that can be combined to form a larger conference space.

In addition to five new inspector offices, we are establishing 16 state-of-the-art workstations for our own staff in a dedicated and separate area.

By bringing these functions together in one building, we strengthen collaboration between teams, make daily tasks easier, and create a professional and comfortable place for everyone involved.

The new offices are fully equipped with kitchens, locker rooms, and sanitary amenities designed for extended stays and intensive project involvement. This provides customer representatives with a functional, comfortable, and professional workspace closely connected to daily yard operations.

The project is part of our ongoing investments in facilities across our yard alongside new docks, quays, cranes, and workshop upgrades, all aimed at delivering a smooth, efficient, and high-quality experience for our customers.

At Orskov Yard, upgrading our facilities is essential to creating ideal conditions to support complex projects, strong cooperation, and long-term partnerships.

Fra tørdok til skøjtebane, samme holdånd 🏒⛸️

I weekenden byttede 28 kolleger fra Orskov Yard sikkerhedsskoene ud med skøjter og mødtes på isen til en kollegial ishockeykamp her i Frederikshavn.

Hos Orskov Yard er teamwork kernen i alt, hvad vi gør. Vi er afhængige af et stærkt samarbejde for at holde tingene i gang, uanset om vi udfører reparationer, vedligeholdelse eller komplekse ombygningsopgaver eller om vi forsøger at holde os på benene på isen. Det handler i bund og grund om det samme: holdindsats.

I hverdagen kræver det koordinering på tværs af fagområder, tillid til hinandens kompetencer og en vilje til at træde til, når der er brug for det. Jo mere vi er sammen, jo stærkere bliver vores teamwork, og jo bedre kan vi servicere vores kunder.

Weekendens arrangement var en god påmindelse om, at stærkt samarbejde opbygges uden for mødelokalerne og omklædningsrummene. Det vokser gennem fælles oplevelser, især når vi sammen træder ud af vores komfortzone.

Disclaimer: Ingen kom til skade under kampen 🚑

From dry dock to ice rink, our team spirit stays the same 🏒⛸️

This weekend, 28 colleagues from Orskov Yard swapped their safety shoes for skates and met on the ice for a friendly hockey match here in Frederikshavn.

At Orskov Yard, teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. We rely on strong collaboration to keep things moving, whether we’re handling repairs, complex retrofits, or just trying to stay upright on the ice. In the end, it all comes down to teamwork and community, whether in a friendly match or our everyday work.

It takes coordination across disciplines, trust in each other’s skills, and a willingness to step in where needed. The more we connect, the stronger our teamwork, and the better we serve our customers.

This weekend was a good reminder that strong teamwork is built beyond meeting rooms and locker rooms. It grows through shared experiences, especially when we step outside our comfort zones together.

Henriks fodboldtrøje er ældre end mange af de skibe, vi reparerer ⚽️

Til daglig inkluderer arbejdsdagen hos Orskov Yard sikkerhedssko, hjelm og synligt arbejdstøj. Det gør den sådan set også i dag – blot med et lille twist.

I dag er det nemlig , en landsdækkende indsats til støtte for Børnecancerfonden, som samler midler ind til fordel for kræftramte børn og deres familier.

Over hele landet har medarbejdere i dag fundet favoritfodboldtrøjen frem for at bakke op om sagen. Engagementet er stort – også her på værftet.

En sjov lille detalje stod vores projektleder Henrik Poulsen for, da han trak i sin Frederikshavn FI førsteholdstrøje fra 1979. Fra en tid hvor shortsene var kortere, og tacklingerne lidt hårdere.

Fodbold bringer mennesker sammen. Den samme følelse af fællesskab er også vigtig i kampen mod børnekræft. Ved at deltage i er vi med til at sætte fokus på sagen, og vi har samtidig doneret 10.000 kr. til Børnecancerfonden.

Normally, the workday at Orskov Yard involves safety shoes, helmets, and visible workwear. This is also the case today, however, with a twist.

Today is ( ), a nationwide initiative supporting Børnecancerfonden (Danish Childhood Cancer Foundation). This initiative helps fund research and gives important support to children with cancer.

One shirt that made a comeback today belongs to our Project Manager, Henrik Poulsen, who showed up wearing his old Frederikshavn FI first-team shirt from 1979, from a time when shorts were shorter and tackles were harder.

Football brings people together, and that same spirit of unity is equally important in the fight against childhood cancer. By joining , we help spread the word and support this cause. Additionally, we’ve also donated 10,000 DKK to the Danish Childhood Cancer Foundation.

🎬 VIDEO: Fejring af skib nummer 100 i Dock 5 🎬

Da skib nummer 100 for nylig dokkede ind i vores største og nyeste flydedok, benyttede vi lejligheden til at fejre milepælen i fællesskab på tværs af hele Orskov Yard. Dock 5 blev idriftsat i starten af 2021 som den første nybyggede flydedok på dansk grund i mere end 40 år.

Mens vinteren viste sig fra sin barske side udenfor, havde vi rykket fejringen indendørs i rør- og maskinværkstedet lige bag Dock 5, hvor ledelsen bød på en klassisk dansk hotdog med det hele 🌭.

Administrerende direktør Lars Fischer benyttede lejligheden til at takke vores dedikerede medarbejdere for deres indsats:

”Vi vil gerne sige utrolig mange tak for den store indsats, I yder hver dag. Og det gælder ikke bare ude i Dock 5. Det gælder hele værftet. I udfører et fantastisk stykke arbejde, som gør, at vores kunder kommer igen og igen. Tusind tak for det. Lige nu står vi herinde i varmen. Men vi er mere end klar over, at januar og februar har været kold, blæsende og svær at arbejde med. Så tak for den indsats, I har ydet i den her periode, hvor vi til stadighed formår at levere skibene til tiden til trods for kraftig blæst fra øst og en bidende kold vind.”

En milepæl som denne handler først og fremmest om at hylde de mennesker, der får det hele til at ske 🙏 Se vores stemningsfilm fra dagen her.

🎬 VIDEO: Celebrating 100 vessels in Dock 5 🎬

As vessel number 100 entered Dock 5 for service and repairs, we took the opportunity to celebrate the milestone together with colleagues from across Orskov Yard.

While winter showed its tougher face outside, we moved the celebration indoors to the machinery and pipe workshop behind Dock 5, where management hosted a classic Danish hot dog lunch for the team.

CEO Lars Fischer took a moment to thank everyone for their dedicated efforts:

“A sincere thank you to everyone across the yard for the tremendous work you do every single day — not just in Dock 5, but throughout Orskov Yard. Your dedication is the reason our customers return again and again. And a special thank you for the effort you’ve shown during the cold and demanding winter months. Despite the tough conditions, you delivered on time.”

A milestone like this is first and foremost about the people who make it happen.

Orskov Yards nyeste dok runder milepæl: 100 skibe på fem år 🎉

I 2021 indviede Orskov Yard den første nybyggede flydedok på dansk grund i mere end 40 år. I dag har vi fejret, at krydstogtskibet M/S Vesterålen fra Hurtigruten er dokket ind som skib nummer 100 i Dock 5.

”Dagen i dag skulle absolut markeres. Processen fra afdækning af markedsbehov, over projektering og bygning, til idriftsættelse og daglig drift har været utrolig spændende. Her, fem år efter idriftsættelsen, er vi slet ikke i tvivl om, at det var den rigtige beslutning. En stor del af de skibe, vi servicerer i Dock 5, ville vi ikke kunne tage ind i vores øvrige dokke, og med Dock 5 har vi samtidig øget vores kapacitet betragteligt”, siger adm. direktør Lars Fischer.

Dock 5 er 180 meter lang, 30 meter bred indvendigt og 8,5 meter dyb. Den er bygget på det tyrkiske værft HAT-SAN Shipyard. Foruden selve flydedokken fik vi sideløbende bygget et landanlæg med 160 meter kaj til placering af flydedokken og 200 meter kaj til yderligere skibsanløb.

I takt med det stigende aktivitetsniveau i og omkring Dock 5 har vi foretaget flere markante investeringer i området, herunder et nyt maskin- og rørværksted på 1.600 kvm og en ny stor skinnekørende tårnkran. Senest er vi gået i gang med at etablere 500 kvm. moderne kontor- og mødefaciliteter.

Investeringerne og det stigende aktivitetsniveau bidrager også til at skabe arbejdspladser, både direkte på værftet og hos vores mange faste underleverandører. Siden etableringen af Dock 5 har vi løbende udvidet medarbejderstaben og beskæftiger i dag over 230 medarbejdere. Hertil kommer op mod 500 medarbejdere hos værftets faste underleverandører.

100 vessels in five years: A milestone for Orskov Yard’s Dock 5 🎉

Since its inauguration in 2021 as Denmark’s first newly built floating dock in more than 40 years, Dock 5 at Orskov Yard has welcomed vessels from near and far.

M/S Vesterålen from Hurtigruten, now at the yard, holds the special honor of being the 100th vessel to enter the Dock 5. Today, we brought together the staff to celebrate this significant milestone in the machinery and pipe workshop next to the dock.

“This milestone deserved to be marked. The journey from identifying the market need to design, construction, commissioning, and daily operation has been incredibly exciting for us. Five years on, we have no doubt the investment was the right decision. Many of the vessels serviced in Dock 5 would not fit into our other docks, and the facility has strengthened our capacity and market position,” said CEO Lars Fischer.

Dock 5 measures 180 metres in length, 30 metres in internal width and 8.5 metres in depth. Built at the Turkish shipyard HAT-SAN Shipyard, the floating dock marked a major strategic step in expanding our capabilities at Orskov Yard.

Alongside the construction of the dock, we developed a dedicated shore facility, including 160 metres of quay for positioning the floating dock and a further 200 metres of quay to accommodate additional vessel calls.

As Dock 5 has become busier, we have continued to invest in the infrastructure. We have built a new 1,600 sqm machinery and pipe workshop and installed a large rail-mounted tower crane to support increasingly complex projects. Most recently, we have begun constructing 500 sqm of modern office and meeting facilities, a natural next step in supporting our continued growth.

From the first docking in 2021 to vessel number 100 today, Dock 5 has become an integral part of Orskov Yard’s development. Across the yard our focus remains the same: delivering quality, predictability and performance. We continue to invest in capacity, competence and long-term partnerships with shipowners around the world ⛴️

Vi skaber fremtidens maritime arbejdskraft: Rekordmange lærlinge på Orskov Yard 👩‍🏭👨‍🏭

At uddanne unge mennesker til en fremtid i den maritime industri er et ansvar, vi tager på os. Ved udgangen af 2025 var 37 ud af knap 200 timelønnede medarbejdere på Orskov Yard lærlinge. Det er det højeste antal nogensinde og markant over vores målsætning om, at mindst 10 % af arbejdsstyrken skal være i uddannelsesforløb.

- Uddannelse er helt afgørende for at sikre fremtiden i den maritime industri. Jeg er stolt over, at vi her i Nordjylland formår at arbejde så tæt sammen om at give det maritime håndværk videre til de næste generationer. Det er en afgørende forudsætning for, at vi kan løfte alle de spændende opgaver, der venter i fremtiden, siger direktør Christina Ørskov, der er tredje generation i familien bag Orskov Yard.

Lærlingene på Orskov Yard er en aktiv del af den daglige drift. De lærer af deres erfarne kolleger og opbygger praktisk erfaring i dokkene, i værkstederne og ombord på skibene.

Siden 2013 har vi arbejdet tæt sammen med en række øvrige maritime virksomheder i Nordjylland om Maritim Lærlingeordning – med stor succes. I dag omfatter programmet 10 virksomheder og 70 aktive lærlinge, og sidste år kunne vi sammen fejre, at lærling nummer 150 modtog sit svendebrev 👏

Maritim Lærlingeordning drives i regi af Erhvervsservice Nord og Anette H. Sørensen. Foruden Orskov Yard er følgende virksomheder med som partnere: Alfa Laval, EnTech Marine, KS Maskinteknik, MAN Energy Solutions, Mariendal, RASI Maskinfabrik, SCANEL, Soft & Teknik og Svanehøj.

Shaping tomorrow’s skills: Record number of apprentices at Orskov Yard

Educating young people for a future in the maritime industry is a responsibility we take very seriously. By the end of 2025, 37 of nearly 200 blue-collar workers at Orskov Yard were apprentices. This is the highest number ever had and is well above our goal of keeping at least 10% of our workforce in training programs.

Our integrated apprenticeship programme reflects our belief in learning by doing, in developing skilled professionals, in sharing knowledge across generations, and, not least, in maintaining our competitive edge.

The apprentices at Orskov Yard are actively involved in daily work, learning from experienced employees, working on real projects, and gaining hands-on experience in the docks, workshops, and on board vessels.

We started our structured apprentice intake in 2013 with the launch of the Maritime Apprenticeship Program, which began as a way to address skills shortages and has today grown into a strong partnership across Northern Jutland’s maritime industry.

Today, this successful program facilitates 10 companies, 70 active apprentices, and has recently celebrated apprentice number 150 receiving his apprenticeship certificate 👏

“Education is crucial to securing the future of the maritime industry. I am proud that Northern Jutland can work closely together to pass on maritime skills to the next generation. This is essential if we want to be able to take on all the exciting tasks that await us in the future,” said Christina Ørskov, Director at Orskov Yard.

22/12/2025

A year filled with exciting projects, strong partnerships, and people who make a difference 🎄⚓

In 2025, Orskov Yard experienced another productive and rewarding year. We delivered complex projects and fostered close partnerships. Our skilled employees continue to ensure vessels operate safely worldwide.

We are proud to reflect on a year of high activity at the yard. Strong customer demand and the dedication of our employees and partners have enabled us to maintain high utilization across our docks and workshops.

To our customers: thank you for trusting us with your vessels, projects, and ambitions.

To our partners and suppliers: thank you for your flexibility and collaboration, which helps our operations run smoothly.

To our team: thank you for your craftsmanship, teamwork, and commitment, which always define Orskov Yard.
