Öresundsvarvet var en varvsindustri i Landskrona, etablerad och till större delen avvecklad Som mest hade man () cirka 3 [1] anställda. Aktiebolaget konstituerades den 16 december Initiativtagare var redaren Arthur Du Rietz i Göteborg som hade sålt alla sina fartyg vid första världskrigets utbrott och förtjänat en förmögenhet. Vid ett besök i Landskrona hörde han att staden gärna ville komplettera sin industri med ett varv. Dess myndigheter föreslog ett område vid sidan av hamnen kallat Sydpiren, som då låg under vatten. Du Rietz fick ett kontrakt där staden förband sig att på angiven plats upplägga en tomt om 50&#; kvadratmeter med en höjd av 2 meter över havet och därtill en 1&#;km lång järnvägsbank. Därtill förband sig staden att bygga en 50 meter lång kaj. Du Rietz å sin sida förband sig att genast därefter bygga ett varv med två stapelbäddar. Den byggnationen började och man anlade två ytterligare stapelbäddar samt en för sin tid stor torrdocka med en längd av ,4 m. Varvet invigdes med den första sjösättningen den 21 september av ångaren Torild, bygg
