About Wight Shipyard Co

Wight Shipyard Co (WSC) is Europe's leading high-speed craft and aluminium ship builder located in East Cowes on Isle of Wight with offices in Southampton.

WSC started life in 2010 as Shemara Refit LLP. Since then, the business has grown exponentially and in 2016 was renamed as WSC, sealing its future as a clear and recognisable Island based company. Under its new identity, WSC delivered Red Funnel’s 41m fast ferries, Red Jet 6 and 7 and four new 40m high speed craft for London’s Thames Clippers.

With first class managerial, design and technical expertise, WSC has recorded exceptional success in the fast ferry sector, delivering high-performance cutting-edge designs and the most comfortable passenger accommodation in fuel-efficient hull forms.

In 2022, WSC merged with a complimentary multinational shipbuilder, OCEA. Our combined group will capitalise on the fast ferry and offshore renewable energy market opportunities. This is a transformational deal for WSC and for the Isle of Wight.
