About Abeking & Rasmussen

Abeking & Rasmussen is a family shipyard founded in 1907 by Georg Abeking and Henry Rasmussen, headquartered in Lemwerder on the Weser. The company, operating as a Societas Europaea, builds superyachts, naval ships, governmental and special ships, as well as tug vessels. Since its founding, it has delivered over 6,500 vessels.
