STX Europe AS, formerly Aker Yards ASA, is a South Korean international shipbuilding company based in Norway and the largest shipbuilding group in Europe and the fourth largest in the world. It operates 15 shipyards in Norway, Finland, Romania, Brazil, France and Vietnam. In addition, STX Europe holds a 30 percent ownership share in Wadan Yards, which comprises two yards in Germany and one in Ukraine; these yards were formerly wholly owned by STX Europe. The company has three business areas: Cruise & Ferries, Offshore & Specialized Vessels and Other Operations. The group is part of the South Korean STX Shipbuilding, which in turn is owned by the South Korean chaebol, STX Corporation. The company was listed on Oslo Stock Exchange in June 2004. After STX became the company's sole shareholder it was decided to delist the company from the stock exchange in February 2009.
In 2006, STX Europe acquired a majority share of Alstom's shipbuilding activies, with shipyards in Saint-Nazaire (former Chantiers de l'Atlantique) and in Lorient. STX Europe was owned 40.1% by the Aker Group until March 2007 when Aker ASA sold its shares in the company. In October 2007, STX Business Group secured a 39,2% stake of STX Europe. Later, STX has increased their ownership share, and in January 2009 STX acquired the remaining shares in STX Europe. Reflecting the new ownership, the company changed to the current name on 3 November 2008.[2]
