Exclusive visit to EDR Antwerp Shipyard
From humble beginnings in the late ’90s as a small workshop handling emergency repairs, EDR Antwerp Shipyard has grown into Belgium’s largest and most advanced ship repair company. Originally known as Engine Deck Repair NV, the company built its reputation by delivering fast, reliable service right where it was needed. Over time, EDR expanded its technical expertise to include extensive afloat repairs and conversions. By 2006, it broadened its services with the distribution of spare parts and technical supplies, further strengthening its offering to clients. The addition of services for inland vessels in 2011 marked a turning point, cementing EDR’s status as a national leader in ship repair. In 2015, EDR took a major step forward by acquiring the shipyard at quay 403, right in the heart of the Port of Antwerp. Since then, significant investments have been made in modernizing the drydocks, the cranes, the berths, and the workshops to meet the demands of modern maritime industries. Today, EDR Antwerp Shipyard is fully equipped to handle the most challenging repair, conversion, and construction projects with precision and professionalism. their mission is not just to repair ships—but to set the standard in drydocking and technical excellence through continuous innovation. When vessels come to EDR, they’re not just maintained—they’re transformed.
