HAMBURG SHIPYARD.<br />

Capital expenditures<br />

Technologies invested €300 million in the reporting period; depreciation amounted to €134 million.<br />

the commissioning of highly automated assembly lines. Other major projects were mainly aimed at<br />

increasing capacities.<br />

The Marine Systems business unit completed a ship repair center in Emden. The largest lathe in<br />

northern Europe was installed at the Hamburg site; it can machine workpieces up to 20 meters long<br />

<strong>and</strong> up to three meters in diameter. Hellenic Shipyards in Skaramanga, Greece, invested in two shipyard<br />

cranes to create the conditions for repair business <strong>and</strong> modular construction in the newbuilding<br />

business.<br />

The Mechanical Engineering business unit continued the strategic expansion of large-diameter<br />

bearing production in the reporting period <strong>and</strong> began building up a ring rolling mill in China.<br />
