Although
Eltink Scheeps- en Jachtwerf build a wide variety of different ships,
mega-yachts are still our speciality. The requirements in terms of
precision and quality are among the highest in the shipbuilding world.
The hulls we produce are pure craftsmanship and we are proud of them.
Our continuous search for improvement enables us time and again to
speed up the building process and improve quality, aspects that are of
vital importance to both our clients and our own organisation.
The quality of the hulls prevents high costs at a later stage in the
finishing process. The tight lines and dimensional stability of the
hulls made at Eltink Scheep- en Jachtwerf form an excellent basis for
a top-quality product.
Over the years, the yard has learnt all the tricks of the trade. The
component parts, which often run into the thousands, are combined to
create an impressive yacht. The skills of our professionals ensure that
the hulls and superstructures we build are of the highest quality
available. The welding process and the working methods we apply are of
crucial importance for the end product. The hulls, which are often
complex in shape, are manufactured in either steel or aluminium. The
stern constructions and some bulwark sections are true steel works of
art. We pay a great deal of attention to keeping the skin and often
large side walls smooth, and to preventing welding shrinkage. The
shaped surfaces have to fit together perfectly to keep irregularities
in the surface to a minimum. The time it takes to build a ship can vary
from a few weeks up to seven months for large yachts. Eltink has
built hulls and superstuctures for almost every renowned mega-yacht
builder in the Netherlands.
We have an extremely good relatonship with the certification agencies.
The excellent quality of the welding is evidenced by the X-rays
commissioned by the certification agencies. Our projects have involved
Lloyd`s Register, ABS, the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate and Bureau
Veritas.
We only work with qualified welders, and most of the final welding work
is done using Mig/Mag. The outside of the tanks is finished with
electrodes. This is more labour-intensive but it prevents porous joints
and ultimate leakage. The longitudinal joints and butts are vee welded
on a ceramic base.

Official Training company in association with the Vocational Training Centre and the Regional Training Centre
We train people as ship metalworkers. The trainees come come from
the Theoretical Vocational Training Route (BBL), which means that they are at
the yard for six weeks and then spend six weeks at school. The trainees
are supervised at the yard by trained practical supervisors.
