Tersan Shipyard built the world’s first LNG-powered coaster in 2011 and also built Turkey's first turn-key offshore and fishing vessel

## History

The Tersan Group was established in the early 1990s as a ship service company providing agency services, operations and management for vessels passing through the Bosphorus, in and out of the Black Sea. During this period, the group purchased their own ships and started to operate worldwide.
In 1997, after acquiring a floating dock and a shipyard in Istanbul’s Tuzla district, the group extended their scope to ship repair and maintenance, docking around 50 to 70 ships per year. In 2001, the group established a separate shipbuilding yard in the same region of Tuzla/Istanbul. The first new building project was delivered in 2002, followed by a number of challenging new building projects until 2008.
Capacity of the Tuzla/Istanbul yard became insufficient for building offshore and Handymax commercial vessels. While the repair yard remaining in Tuzla/Istanbul, Tersan invested in a new yard in Yalova City in 2008, giving greater capacity but still benefitting from easy access to Istanbul. The new facilities in Yalova are one of the biggest and most modern shipyards in Europe. Development of the yard continues to incorporate upcoming technologies and the demand of new building projects. The yard employs about permanent 1000 personnel, increasing to 8000 depending on the workload of the projects.
