Nordic Yards Names New Managing Director

Herbert Aly has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Board of Management of the Nordic Yards Group.

He succeeds Vitaly Yusufov, who will preserve his links with the company as a member.

“I am extremely pleased that we have been able to gain the services of Dr Aly for the company. We now have one of the industry’s most well-respected shipbuilding experts on the board of Nordic Yards,” says Yusufov. “He will drive forward the development of the company and give fresh impetus to its transformation from a shipyard to an engineering services provider.”

The appointment of Dr.-Ing. Aly strengthens the top management of the Nordic Yards shipyard group and moves the focus specifically on to high-margin areas of business.

“We will further develop our know-how and expertise to deliver best quality, adherence to programme and acceptable prices,” adds Aly. “To succeed as a specialist on the international markets, we will concentrate much more on profitable niche markets.”

The strengthening of the management will drive forward the transformation of the company group from a shipyard to an engineering and project services provider. “This is my long-term growth strategy as owner,” says Yusufov.

Dr.-Ing. Herbert Aly takes up his role from today. He will be supported by members of the Board of Management, Jürgen Wollny, Fred-G. Wegener and Hans Jürgen Wio.
