Serbia’s Albatross merges with Salt Ship Design

Salt Ship Design has completed its acquisition of Serbian naval architects Albatross Ship Design.

Salt Ship Design said the two companies have had prior cooperation on over 50 vessel design projects.

Albatross was originally established in 2001 as a member of Norway’s Vik Sandvik Group. It was acquired by a Finnish company in 2009 and later operated as an independent design firm from 2016 until its merger with Salt Ship Design.

Albatross had specialised in designing offshore vessels, fishing vessels, tankers, containerships, dry cargo vessels, and coast guard vessels.
