Production Line

At Via Maris Shipyard, we recognise that our employees are our greatest asset. Bringing a wealth of expertise together under one roof, it is their combined skills that enable us to consistently deliver world-class vessels. With an impeccable record of meeting deadlines time after time, our success is a direct result of their dedication and talent.

Compliance

Via Maris Shipyard is committed to excellence at every level. This dedication is reflected in the way we manage our operations, design and construct our vessels, and uphold the agreements we make with our clients.

Vessel Launch

Within our first three years of operation, we proudly launched 20 newbuild vessels.

These were all versions of our flagship CB19. In 2025, we laid the keel for our next major project, the CB25, which is scheduled for launch in 2026. Alongside these new builds, we have also completed numerous refits on vessels in the fleet of our parent company, Peschaud International.

Envision Tomorrow

The outlook for Via Maris Shipyard remains highly promising

Within our first three years of operation, we proudly launched 20 newbuild vessels. In 2025, we have started construction of our next major project, a 25-meter crew boat or CB25 for short. Alongside these new builds, we have also completed numerous refits. The rapid growth in production has made it clear that our facilities must evolve to meet the demands of tomorrow. With this in mind, we have begun construction on additional office space and a new canteen area. This development serves a dual purpose: enhancing the amenities we offer our staff and freeing up space within the shipyard to expand and upgrade our production capabilities.
