==Economy== [[File:KlevenVerft Hasundhornet.jpg|thumb|left|View of Kleven Verft]] [[File:Ulsteinvik Hogåsen Dimna.jpg|thumb|left|View of the town, looking northeast]] The town is built in a natural harbour (in fact, the town's name means "Ulstein cove" or "Ulstein inlet"), and has an industry driven largely by [[shipbuilding]], with two major [[shipyard]]s: [[Ulstein Group|Ulstein Verft]] and [[Kleven group|Kleven Verft]]. The [[Ulstein Group]] includes the Ulstein Verft shipyard and a growing number of other marine-related companies, the largest of which are Ulstein Power & Control AS and Ulstein Design & Solutions AS. The town has dozens of other maritime-related firms of all sizes, including the global head office of [[Rolls-Royce plc]]'s marine division. The strength of this industry through the middle of the first decade of the 21st century has led to significant expansion and new construction, both residential and commercial. In 2012, Ulsteinvik was the winner of the most attractive town in Norway.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Congratulations |url=http://www.ulstein.kommune.no/Modules/article.aspx?ObjectType=Article&Article.ID=5542&Category.ID=592 |access-date=8 September 2012 |publisher=Ulsteinvik Commune |language=no}}</ref>
