What Bømlo Skipsservice does

Bømlo Skipsservice is a family-owned maritime shipyard and industrial service company headquartered at Langevåg on the island of Bømlo in western Norway, between Bergen and Stavanger. Founded in 1966 as Bømmeløy Mekaniske Verksted by Simon Eidesvik and his sons, the company was rebranded under its current name in 2007 and moved into modern facilities in Hovlandshagen in 2009. The company operates as a full-service shipyard providing mechanical and electrical repairs, plate and pipe welding, hydraulic and aluminum work, vessel conversions, newbuild, and mobilization/demobilization services for offshore vessels.

The technical backbone is a 170-meter deepwater quay with shore power (400-690V), an ISPS-certified port, an 800 m² heated workshop with twin 40-ton overhead cranes, and travel lifts of 180 tons and up to 1100 tons capable of handling vessels up to 1000 tons on land. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 3834-2 (welding quality), and ISPS port certifications, and is an authorized dealer for Caterpillar Marine and a service partner for Volvo Penta, supporting 24/7 engine workshop and global field service operations. The company is a participant in the Bømlafjorden Maritime Senter cluster formed in 2022 and announced a motor capacity expansion partnership with AMS in June 2026.

Bømlo Skipsservice generates revenue through professional service fees for ship repair, conversions and offshore mobilization work, parts sales for Caterpillar and Scania engines via an online store, and sale of smaller oil and gas components and modules. Its primary customer segments are commercial fishing vessels, offshore support vessels, and aquaculture operations in the Nordic region. The company is private and family-owned, with no disclosed funding rounds, and employs between 11 and 50 people.
