Present

J. Ring-Andersen Skibsværft of Peter Ring-Andersen today functions as a repair yard. Concentrating on restoration and maintenance of Danish vessels as well as foreign, the majority are wooden, but also a number of them are steel. The yard has two slipways and a floating dock with a capacity of up to 1,000 tonnes.

Peter Ring-Andersen, representing the fourth generation, runs the yard. Fifth generation will within a number of years take over the obligation to participate in securing the survival of wooden ships in the future.

The team of ship’s carpenters, smiths and the rest of the employees constantly work to fulfill the demands from authorities and the wishes of the ship owners, making it possible especially for the sailing ships to keep going.

Special ship repairs, which cannot be carried out by the yard, are normally made by one of Svendborgs many companies, be that a matter of ship engines, hydraulic, rigging and ship electronics.
