MEYER WERFT began building large car and passenger ferries in the 60’s. Since<br />
then, over 20 ships of this type have been manufactured, among those are two<br />
large series predominantly for the Baltic Sea area:<br />
• 6 ferries for Sweden/Denmark<br />
• 9 ferries for Viking Line, Sweden/Finland<br />
MEYER WERFT is also known as a specialist for the construction of ro-ro ships.<br />
In 1996, the shipyard delivered the first pure ro-ro ship in the world, the Undine.<br />
The Ambassador and the Diplomat are among very few ships which were built<br />
under the US flag in Europe.
