Öresundsvarvet

[1] During a visit to Landskrona, Du Rietz heard that the city wanted to complement its industry with a shipyard.

[citation needed] The shipyard was opened on 21 September 1918 with the launch of the first ship, the steamer Torild, built by Rederi AB Percivald in Landskrona.

[1] In 1972, it built one of the world's largest container ships Nihon for the Swedish East Asiatic Company.

As such vessels had been a major product for most shipyards during 15–20 years prior to 1973, did the aftermath of this enormous crisis (as OPEC nearly quadrupled the oil price in dollars, in a response to US President Nixon's aid to Israel during the Yom Kippur War[4]) include a severe crisis for most larger shipyards, also in Sweden.

A new repair yard named Cityvarvet AB took over about 200 employees, while a similar number joined Bruces Shipyard making hulls.

In 2010 the operation was renamed Oresund Heavy Industries AB and remains active in ship repair.
