Nobiskrug shipyard was founded in the year 1905 by Otto Stork. Until the World War I began, the shipyard had built around 70 vessels, specifically pontoons, barges and lighters. The war proved a boom for the yard as it built many auxiliary ships for the Kaiserliche Marine. Later the company started building minesweepers and launched its first two cargo steamboats in 1917 for German owners.

 

In a time-frame of four years from 1935 to 1939, the shipyard supplied the German Ministry of Finance with three customs cruisers, the Nettelbeck, the York and the Freiherr von Stein. During this period, the world was gripped by World War II, where the Kaiserliche Marine and Luftwaffe ordered for a range of auxiliary ships, including several ocean-going tugs and tankers. The post-war years were concentrated on ship conversions and repairs; while during 1945 to 1955, the company progressed to building larger vessels. In the year 1963 the shipyard delivered the highly sophisticated navy training ship Deutschland. A year later, Nobiskrug built its first ferry, the Prins Bertil followed by four ferries until 1968. A number of conventional freighters and asphalt tankers as well as heavy goods and RoRo vessels were completed.

 

The research vessel, Polarstern, and the diving support vessels Seabex One and Seaway Condor were constructed in the early 1980s. In the year 1987, Nobiskrug was acquired by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) turning it into a compact shipyard. The maritime division was made to specialize exclusively in repairs and conversions. The year 1997 saw the shipyard supplying the forward half of the passenger ship MS Deutschland and starting the work on the megayacht Tatoosh, which was completed it in the summer of 2000. 

 

In the past decade Nobiskrug delivered fantastic yachts like Tatoosh, Triple Seven, Siren, Sycara V, Mogambo, Flying Fox and Odessa II amongst them several award winners.

 

Today Nobiskrug is a subsidiary of Privinvest group, being part of its European shipyards alliance.
