One of the largest shipyards in Germany founded in 1877. In 1912, the company Bloem Foss was to design and build the largest shipbuilding company in Russia - "Putilov shipyard" in St.Petersburg (since 1922 - "Northern Shipyard").

Yacht Yards
Currently, there are many manufacturers of yachts and become difficult to determine which of them produce really high-quality products.
Germany.
Country, which is building the biggest yachts in the world. Top quality, best organization of production. Lurssen, Blohm + Voss, Abeking & Rasmussen, HDW - names that guarantee success.
Accordingly, the high prices. Some shipyards crammed with orders for years to come, and can even afford to deny unknown clients.
Holland.
The huge experience of many centuries of shipbuilding, excellent quality, high reliability. Amels, Feadship, Heesen - in any prestigious yachting port in the world you will surely find the yacht of these firms.
The owners, re-ordering of the boat, as the company itself. Many young talented yacht designers.
Italy.
The country produces the largest number of yachts up to 40 meters. A huge number of shipyards. One of the best, along with English, yacht designers. It seems that in the yachting capital of Italy - Viareggio - everybody build yachts.
Advantage - relatively low price. When professionally drafted construction contract and the terms of reference may stall time, and rising construction costs and technical problems in the future.
In any event, when deciding whether to start construction of the yacht must be objectively, often hard-to information on history, experience, technical capabilities and financial situation of the shipyard.
The next important stage - drawing up the contract and literacy requirements specification, allowing the future owner to avoid many unpleasant situations.

A crucial role in the construction of a properly organized supervision during construction, project management and selection of absolutely reliable customer representative.
