Cemre signed the first shipbuilding contract with Havyard Group in 2005 and delivered Havila Mars the following year, from a rented yard. They developed their own facilities in Altınova and expanded quickly, reaching 78.000 m2 by 2009. A second slipway was built in 2012 and a further 78.000 m2 shipyard, Cemre II was added in 2015. Cemre has constructed over 50 hulls which were then fitted out by Havyard Ship Technology (HST) in Leirvik, Norway.
