RAFNAR Hellas Expands with New Shipyard in Lavrio and Second Facility in Keratea, Responding to High Demand and Introducing New 62ft Vessel

Lavrio, Greece —  April 1, 2025 - RAFNAR Hellas proudly announces the grand opening of its new high-end shipyard and company headquarters in Lavrio, Greece, alongside a second dedicated facility in Peta, Keratea—marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing expansion and strategic growth in Greece.

The Lavrio facility now serves as the primary hub for RAFNAR Hellas’s operations, enabling greater capacity for high-performance vessel production, naval engineering, and innovation.

The facility in Keratea complements this by focusing on final assembly, outfitting, and servicing, optimizing the full production lifecycle.

This expansion comes in response to growing international demand for RAFNAR’s tactical and professional vessels, particularly in defense, coast guard, and SAR sectors. The production pipeline for the upcoming years is already filling up rapidly with orders, highlighting the trust placed in RAFNAR’s unmatched seakeeping, safety, and performance.

In addition to fulfilling current demand, RAFNAR Hellas is preparing to launch its newest and largest model to date—a 62ft high-performance vessel, designed for extended range operations and mission-critical capabilities. This new flagship is set to redefine expectations in its class.

“This expansion marks more than just infrastructure growth—it reflects our confidence in Greece as a hub for advanced maritime manufacturing, and our ongoing investment in people, technology, and the future of maritime excellence,” said Padelis Stoubis, Managing Director of RAFNAR Hellas. “With Lavrio as our main operational base and Keratea focused on final production and servicing, we are strategically positioned to meet rising global demand—while pushing boundaries with the introduction of our new 62ft vessel.”

With both facilities in full operation and the next generation of RAFNAR vessels on the horizon, the company continues to lead through innovation, backed by the globally recognized patent of the Hull, ÖK Hull.
