About

Quality. Innovation. Professionalism.

With decades of experience, we can successfully bring our clients' visions to life, carefully tailoring every aspect of the vessel to their specific desires.

VAHALI has a long and rich history in shipbuilding, beginning in 1923 on the banks of the River Waal in Gendt, Netherlands. The shipyard is named after this river, which dates back to the Roman Empire.

To remain competitive, VAHALI expanded its operations into Southeast Europe in 2005 by acquiring shipyard facilities in Serbia and opening a metal processing plant in Belgrade. In April 2013, after eight years of continuous growth, VAHALI took over an existing shipyard in Zasavica, near Mačvanska Mitrovica, close to Belgrade. Following extensive reconstruction, this shipyard became the largest and most important in the region. In 2023, VAHALI proudly celebrated 100 years of existence.

To provide our clients with high-quality services and products built to the latest global standards, we consistently improve our technology, knowledge, and expertise in shipbuilding while expanding our range of services.

Thanks to decades of experience, professionalism, and continuous innovation, VAHALI is highly regarded in the world of shipbuilding.

Since its founding in Gendt to the recent expansion with the shipyard in Zasavica, our workforce has been continuously growing.

Today, VAHALI employs over 350 people, including entire generations of shipbuilders. As a company, it is extremely important to us that our employees feel like part of a large family. We strive to provide the best possible working conditions, safety, and an excellent work environment.
