Repairing hatch covers, ramps and slipways of sea-river ships

In 2001, the history of NORDWEG JSC began with large-scale repairing of hatch covers on one of the sea merchant ships. NORDWEG company was created by people with an extensive experience in hatch cover repairing of various types. This defined the company development strategy for the subsequent years and at one of its development stages enabled it to become the service centre for TTS (Kvaerner) group of companies, one of the leading manufacturers of cargo handling devices.

Today, NORDWEG JSC is one of the cutting-edge companies for hatch cover repair in the north-western region of Russia with its representative offices in Kaliningrad, Arkhangelsk and Riga (Latvia).
