Rauma-Repola

Rauma, Finland

Opened a yard for building rigs in Pori in 1972. Acquired the nearby Reposaaren Konepaja in 1973 but closed that yard in 1975. Merged with Hollming Oy in 1991 to form Finnyards and subsequently acquired by Aker and renamed Aker Finnyards. Acquired Kværner Masa-Yards in 2005 and the combined company was renamed Aker Yards in 2006 and became part of STX Europe in 2008. Following financial difficulties at STX, the yard closed in 2013, but reopened the following year as Rauma Marine Constructions.
