Shipyard ATG Giurgiu

What Shipyard ATG Giurgiu does

Shipyard ATG Giurgiu S.R.L. is a privately held Romanian shipbuilding and vessel-repair facility located on the Danube River in Giurgiu, Romania, operating under 100% Romanian private capital since its acquisition by a Romanian investor in May 2002. The company traces its roots to the original Giurgiu Shipyard (active since the late 19th century) and operates from a 280,000-square-meter platform featuring a 1985-built vertical syncrolift transfer system capable of handling vessels up to 110 meters in length, 17.5 meters in width, and 3,000 tons in displacement.

The yard's core offering spans new-build construction and comprehensive repair/conversion services for both inland-waterway and sea-going vessels. New-build deliveries are offered in two configurations: CASCO (hull only) and Turn-key (fully equipped). Production is anchored by in-house steel processing capacity of approximately 10,000 tons per year and aluminium capacity of 1,500 tons per year, supported by ESAB plasma and oxy-gas cutting tables, MIG-MAG welding, sandblasting, and full machining capabilities, plus a 115,000-square-meter railway transfer system linking assembly halls to the syncrolift. Vessels produced include multifunctional cargo ships, chemical and product tankers, pushers, barges (including hopper and RO-RO), fishing vessels (longliners), aquaculture well boats, passenger ferries, and specialized depollution vessels. The yard maintains standing relationships with major international classification societies — Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, Germanischer Lloyd (now DNV GL), and the Romanian Naval Authority — and holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications verified by BVQI.

The commercial model is a direct, B2B sales-led approach: customers submit requests via the corporate website (available in English, Romanian, and French), email ([email protected]), or phone, after which contracts are concluded at fiscal invoice issuance with fully custom quote-based pricing per vessel specification. Customers are predominantly European shipping operators, fishing companies, port authorities, and government maritime agencies across the Netherlands, Germany, France, Romania, and Norway, with the Danube location providing direct waterway access to both the Black Sea and the North Sea via Rotterdam. Since 2002, management has invested over €7 million in modern equipment, and the yard has delivered 60+ vessels across its portfolio to international clients.

Regional players

• Brodosplit: Croatian shipyard building ferries, patrol vessels and specialised ships — overlaps ATG in passenger vessels and niche newbuild categories.

• Odessa / Varna Shipyard (Odessos Shiprepair Yard): Bulgarian Black Sea shipyard focused on repair, conversions and newbuild — regional competitor for Adriatic/Black Sea/Danube operators and government work.
