ABOUT
ABOUT US
A specialized shipyard based in Tuzla, Istanbul. Engineering high-performance workboats and passenger vessels for demanding clients across international markets.
Nova Shipyard is a leading workboat shipyard in Turkey, delivering high-quality commercial vessels for demanding marine operations. With a strong engineering base, modern production facilities, and an established network of trusted design partners, we build reliable workboats that meet international requirements, including EU Directives, the HSC Code, and applicable flag-state and class rules.
Nova Shipyard’s capabilities extend beyond commercial workboats into the superyacht segment. Building on our workboat grade engineering discipline and production robustness, combined with refined execution standards, we deliver custom built yacht support vessels tailored to each owner’s operational profile, logistics and toy carrying requirements, and performance targets. At the same time, even within our commercial vessel projects, we frequently apply superyacht level finishing touches where required, such as yacht standard fairing and paint systems, refined detailing, and elevated interior and exterior finish expectations. This combination enables us to deliver vessels that unite commercial reliability with a higher level of craftsmanship and presentation, while maintaining strong operational performance.
Our shipbuilding processes emphasize safety, durability, operational efficiency, and precision manufacturing. With extensive experience in advanced marine engineering, we deliver vessels optimized for passenger transport, offshore support, yacht support, harbor operations, and coastal services.
Nova Shipyard provides a full range of propulsion solutions including electric drive, hybrid, and diesel-electric systems enabling operators to achieve higher efficiency, reduced emissions, and long-term sustainability.
Recognized for engineering excellence, Nova Shipyard built Europe’s first aluminum passenger vessels certified under EU Directive 2009/45 Category B, marking a major milestone in commercial ferry construction.
With transparent communication, structured project management, and proven technical expertise, Nova Shipyard remains a trusted partner for operators seeking dependable, future-ready workboat solutions.
MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
Customer satisfaction is a non negotiable priority at Nova Shipyard. We focus on building reliable business relationships based on trust, transparency, and consistent delivery, then sustaining those relationships through long term performance in service and responsive support after handover.
As a Naval Architect and Marine Engineer, I place strong emphasis on ensuring every vessel meets its technical and operational requirements in full. From mission profile and compliance framework to performance targets and real duty cycles, we approach each project with engineering discipline and practical thinking. This is why our vessels are delivered as promised, enter service with confidence, and allow owners and operators to focus on their operations.
At Nova Shipyard, we do not measure success only by delivery. We measure it by how the vessel performs over time and by the trust we earn through our work.
