SWATH@A&R
THE CALM REVOLUTION

A PROVEN SHIPBUILDING DEVELOPMENT

For thousands of years ships have been firmly anchored in human identity. They have benefited and advanced the human kind in countless ways. And yet all along this amazing journey seafarers have been plagued by seasickness, an incessant and relentless nausea caused by the ship’s rolling and rocking. Many experts have tried to find the remedy for the persistent ailment, but always with moderate success. That is, until Abeking &Rasmussen took up the challenge in 1999 in their usual, intense way and set new standards in on-board comfort and seakeeping with the development of the SWATH technology. Since then, the shipyard delivered almost 30 extremely accomplished SWATH@A&R (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) vessels that owe their success to one groundbreaking advantage – stable and calm voyage even in high and stormy seas. With the innovative technology the shipyard won accolades across the shipbuilding world and took its rightful place as the world market leader in this highly promising industry sector.

 

SPECIAL VESSELS

TIME MANAGEMENT

RELIABLY FAST

Precise timing can accelerate ship construction while reducing costs. The synchronized coordination of all tasks, is crucial in transforming a “work in progress” into a fully operational ship. At Abeking & Rasmussen, this vital task is given a dedicated space: the „timing room,“ a result of process optimization developed in partnership with the renowned consulting firm Porsche Consulting. Here, experts from various disciplines collaborate to outline all necessary steps and milestones. Each action is defined, located, detailed, and assigned a clear deadline. The outcome is greater transparency, improved coordination, and seamless execution.

  • State the exact day of the launch right from the start
  • The speed of the completion is increased by 40%.
  • Costs can be significantly reduced by 10%.

REFIT & SERVICES

ONE STOP, ALL INCLUSIVE

Aside from the significant material value, every ship that leaves our yard holds a high sentimental, idealistic value for us – and it stays that way. Whether constructing, refitting, or repairing a vessel, our mission goes beyond preservation. We aim to enhance and elevate the vessel’s value, ensuring lasting improvements. From routine maintenance to extensive refits, the A&R team approaches every project with dedication and personal care. With cutting-edge expertise in naval shipbuilding and a presence in prominent yachting hubs worldwide, Abeking & Rasmussen offers unmatched advantages.
