Salamis Shipyards is a privately owned ship repair, conversion and shipbuilding yard in the sheltered bay of Ampelakia on the eastern side of the island of Salamis, within the Piraeus basin. The yard puts its activity at more than four decades; no founding year is published.
The site covers 40,000 square metres of land, with a docking area of 12,000 square metres, 6,000 square metres of covered shops and a 2,000 square metre office building. Fourteen cranes lift up to 50 tonnes. The yard works floating docks, for which no count, name or dimension is published. Its work is certified by Bureau Veritas.
Repair and conversion are the core of the business. Completed projects include converting bulk carriers into stainless steel chemical tankers, single hull tankers into double hull tankers and into double hull bulk carriers, and single hull oil tankers into double hull stainless steel chemical tankers; bringing tankers up to IMO type II and type III standards; lengthening ferries and ro-pax vessels; enlarging the accommodation and capacity of high speed craft; installing and upgrading cargo systems; reactivating laid-up tonnage; and complete reconstruction and upgrading for reinstatement of class. Construction of vessels of up to 100,000 deadweight tonnes sits among those completed milestones rather than among current capacity.
Current newbuilding is naval. The yard builds pre-fitted blocks for the FDI frigates of Naval Group and ships them to Lorient in France; a block for the frigate Themistoklis went out in June 2026. On 5 June 2026 an agreement was signed with ACT Infraport Ltd for technical collaboration on a greenfield shipbuilding and ship repair yard in India.
