Nova Shipyard, a leading professional workboat builder based in the shipyard region of Tuzla, Istanbul, is to debut at Seawork 2026.

Customer-oriented, the company’s expertise covers a broad spectrum of workboats, providing bespoke solutions and ensuring that every vessel is designed and built to exact specifications.
Earlier this year, Nova Shipyards announced the successful completion of the first sea trial of ‘Cliffs of Moher Express’ built for Doolin Ferry Co. Designed by MER ET DESIGN to accommodate 297 passengers. ‘Cliffs of Moher Express’ features state-of-the-art amenities, environmentally friendly technologies including emission reduction system and solar panels, and advanced safety systems.
