The Bredalsholmen Shipyard and Preservation Centre in Kristiansand is a national preservation centre for ships built of steel which are worthy of preservation. Many old craft techniques used in steel ship building are kept alive at the centre. Active use of the old dry dock from 1876, along with the adjacent workshops, quays, cranes and other technical equipment, contribute to the preservation of the site as a technical and industrial cultural monument. 35 people are employed full-time at the centre.
