tradition

The Meyer family has kept its shipbuilding company on course for 226 years – that’s seven generations. Currently Bernard Meyer and his sons Jan and Tim sit on the MEYER management board.

The company was founded in Papenburg, Germany and our shipyard facilities are still located there to this day. This is where the shipyard’s founder, Willm Rolf Meyer, started building small wooden sailing boats in 1795. More than 700 ships of different types have been built at the yard to date.

The other shipyards in the 6.500 employee strong MEYER Group are NEPTUN WERFT in Rostock and MEYER TURKU in Finland. We design and build ships tailored to the needs of our clients and with a wealth of expertise and innovative solutions. Our new yachting division MEYER Yachts follows exactly the same path.

exceptional excellence

We also benefit from the efforts of several partners who are involved in the construction of our ships and yachts. Our affiliates in the MEYER Group work alongside many external suppliers to have an extensive network for all kinds of requests.

We work closely with around 2,000 employees at our partner companies in day-to-day operations. This means the MEYER Group generates a total of 40,000 jobs in the shipbuilding and supply industry, as well as in various trades involved in operations in Germany, Finland and other European countries.

We know that our success is mainly due to our craftsmen and partner companies. That’s why we continue to promote cooperative partnerships and assume responsibility for people, the region and the environment. Lots of our employees are the third or fourth generation within their family to work at MEYER – they have known the MEYER spirit since childhood.

sustainability

Freedom means

Responsibility.

We build the yachts of tomorrow.

For us, engineering therefore means sustainability.

At MEYER we strongly believe that we have a duty to build our products as environmentally friendly as possible. That’s why our specialist technicians and engineers are constantly working on the most advanced technologies that will make our yachts even more efficient and sustainable.

sustainability

The development of the LNG drive system for example has consolidated our position as the technological leader in the construction of cruise liners, and it’s also a huge incentive for us to continue our research.

Our objective is to build climate neutral yachts with alternative and renewable fuels – we’re putting all our passion and courage into the development of new ideas.

MEYER will also start testing fuel cells as the next milestone in the development of climate-neutral shipping solutions. Fuel cells are seen as the technology of the future. The concept is as simple as it is ingenious – hydrogen plus oxygen generates electricity and heat. Hydrogen is obtained from methanol, which can be produced sustainably from renewable energy sources. This means fuel cells operate without any harmful emissions – they only produce water vapour. The technology also reduces noise and vibration, which is an important requirement for yacht operations.
