As World War I wasn't resolved in "a few months" (which was the general assumption by most people in the summer of 1914), there was a period of an increasing demand, both for more vessels in general, as well as an equal demand of more "modern" ships. By November 1918, Öresundsvarvet was already more than well ready to continue delivering various kinds of vessels. But after the 1918 Armistice, which ended the war, the number of ordered ships began to decrease. Despite this decrease, the shipyard survived and better times was to come.
