From seasickness to success
Abraham Kongsvik and Alf Sandvik, who are both in their early thirties, are on drift net fishing aboard the cutter ”Skongsnes.” Alf is plagued by seasickness. Both have previously worked at a local workshop, and are thus familiar with the repair of wooden boats. There aboard the idea was born to start their own workshop. Commencement of the enterprise is believed to have been March 27th 1943.
“Efficiency has always been the key element during the development of the yard. We have short distances between drydock/slipway and the different engineering areas, all the quays have available shore power and can be mobilized as ISPS terminals.”
— Kjell-Inge Sjåstad, Managing Director Baatbygg
