Cemre signed the first shipbuilding contract with
Havyard Group in 2005 and delivered
Havila Mars the following year, from a rented yard. They developed their own facilities in
Altınova and expanded quickly, reaching 78,000 m2 by 2009. A second slipway was built in 2012 and a further 78,000 m2 shipyard, Cemre II was added in 2015. Cemre has constructed over 50 hulls which were then fitted out by
Havyard Ship Technology (HST) in
Leirvik, Norway. The first fishing vessel,
Østerbris, was delivered in 2014. Cemre moved into construction of passenger vessels, with the delivery of
Bastø VI in 2016. Offshore support vessels followed, with specialisation in windfarm support vessels and low- and zero-emission, battery and hybrid vessels. She has a
DP system and an innovative
DC grid developed by
ABB.
Groenewind is the first DP2, twin-hulled SOV in the world. She serves offshore wind farms in Belgium.
