The Shipyard was founded on September 1944 and is located by Figueira da Foz, at the mouth of Mondego River, in the centre of Portugal. In 1944 the Yard had two slippways and workshops for wooden shipbuilding. Three years later, the Yard built it's first steel ships, three 71-m codfish trawlers. Upon celebration of their 50th anniversary, in 1994, Mondego Shipyard began construction of a 45-m long, 500-passenger aluminium catamaran. In the meantime, the Yard continuously expanded and updated its facilities and now has a shipbuilding slippway for ships up to 100 m and workshops for full construction and outfitting and a shiprepair slippway for ships up to 90 m. In it's existence, Mondego Shipyard has built pontoons, barges, workboats, floating cranes, dredgers, tugs, fishing vessels, cargo ships, tankers, ferries and Navy ships, in a total of 236 ships. The Repair Department has been engaged with dredgers, fishing vessels, ferries and research ships, among others. This diversity of built and repaired ships demands great flexibility and capacity of response for a wide range of situations. The Design and Production Departments have to cope with different standards, regulations and market demands, with an ever-increasing necessity to compress the delivery times. The use of CADD/CAE/CAM tools, which at Mondego Shipyard has long been well proven, and the current process of ISO-9001 certification are some of the ways to gain efficiency and flexibility - with no compromise to quality - in the design and production of Mondego's high-standard vessels.
