STX Europe AS, formerly Aker Yards ASA, was until 2012 a subsidiary of the South Korean STX Offshore and Shipbuilding, with headquarters in Oslo, Norway. It operated fifteen shipyards in Brazil, Finland, France, Norway, Romania and Vietnam, with three business areas: cruise and ferries, offshore and specialized vessels, and other operations. In 2012, with rising debts, STX retained the Finnish cruise shipbuilding yard and sold the remainder as STX OSV Holdings. Its yards included the Saint-Nazaire shipyard that built the Queen Mary 2 and the Turku shipyard that built the Oasis of the Seas.
