Helsingør Jernskibs- & Maskinbyggeri A/S. was one of Denmark's major shipyards, founded on 1 March 1882 as A/S Helsingør Jærnskibs- og Maskinbyggeri by M.C. Holm (1827-1892) from Rederiet Norden.
In 1913, the shipyard's majority shareholding was taken over by a consortium with the participation of Burmeister & Wain and DFDS. Representatives of these joined the board. However, the shipyard continued as a completely independent unit. In 1916 B&W sold its share to DFDS.
In 1964, the shipping company J. Lauritzen became co-owner of the majority of the shares, with DFDS remaining the second major shareholder. Four years later, the shipyard entered into a collaboration with the shipyards in Aalborg, Frederikshavn and Aarhus, which resulted in the coordination company DAN-Værft A/S.
After a longer period of decline In 1982, the newbuilding department at the shipyard was closed after a loss unparalleled in Danish shipyard history. The repair department was continued in Frederikshavn under the name HV-Turbo.
The shipyard just turned 100 years old before it closed in 1983.
