At Grandweld Shipyards, shipbuilding is more than a service—it’s a commitment to innovation, precision, and performance. In 2024, that commitment translated into a strong year of delivery and expansion. We secured $65.8 million across 15 shipbuilding projects in the GCC and successfully delivered 12 vessels, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner for both commercial and defence clients.

Our journey this year has not only solidified our commercial leadership but also marked a strategic expansion into the defence and strategic marine support space—pushing our technical capabilities into new territory.

Expanding into Defence

Grandweld Shipyards made its defence-sector debut with advanced vessels engineered to meet the highest military standards.

The 45m Fast Attack Craft

Delivered with exceptional speed and precision, this 45-meter Fast Attack Craft met rigorous military requirements and earned global recognition for its quality and timely execution. The project demonstrated our readiness to deliver under pressure and to defence-grade specifications.

The 17m Interceptor Vessel

Purpose-built for coastal security and rapid-response operations, the 17-meter Interceptor Vessel marked our first use of surface drive propulsion technology. Developed in collaboration with leading naval architects, it underscores our agility in adopting specialized systems to meet evolving maritime security needs.

Advancing Commercial Shipbuilding

While our expansion into defence was a major milestone, we also stayed true to our core: delivering reliable, high-performance vessels for commercial clients.

Advancing Commercial Shipbuilding

Built for demanding port and anchorage operations, this aluminium-hull crew boat is optimized for fast, efficient personnel and cargo transfers. Designed to operate in high-traffic areas like Fujairah, the vessel stands as a prime example of our ability to blend endurance, speed, and reliability.

With each project, we continue to raise the bar in shipbuilding, creating solutions that serve real-world demands with precision and purpose. Engineering remains at our core, and innovation drives every build as we shape the future of shipbuilding in the region and beyond.
