New chapter in submarine construction

For the shipbuilding group TKMS, in addition
to the completion of corvette and
frigate orders, there was cause for joy above
all from the submarine segment. While
working together with Fincantieri on a
series for the Italian navy, a major order for
Norway was landed: With the construction
of six 73-m-long Tyo U212CD submarines
for Norway and Germany, TKMS won the
most significant order in the company’s history.
The order volume is around €5.5 billion.
Industrial cooperation between Germany
and Norway is a cornerstone of the
U212CD project. The first submarine is to
be built from 2023 and delivered to the Norwegian
Navy in 2029. The two boats for the
German Navy, No. 3 and No. 6 in the series,
will enter service in 2032 and 2034.
NOBISKRUG
Re-start in the yacht business
An important signal after the restart under the new
(FSG) flag: The Nobiskrug shipyard in Rendsburg can
now finish building a mega-yacht, which was already in
the order book before the insolvency and the takeover by
the Flensburg shipyard FSG.
With the signing of a contract for a major order, »a significant
milestone has been reached within the repositioning
of Nobiskrug Werft in the context of the takeover
by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft«, the company announced.
The newbuilding in question is now entering
the final outfitting phase, which, in addition to the coating
work on the hull, includes the interior fittings in particular.
The yacht is the 795 project, which was initially
put on hold after the insolvency. Since then, extensive negotiations
with the client have been ongoing.
Two months earlier, the Rendsburg shipyard had landed
the first yacht order since the takeover by investor Lars
Windhorst: an extensive refit for a 120 m yacht, in which
all the company‘s shipbuilding departments are to be involved.
In parallel, »demanding maintenance work« will
be carried out. The work, which will take several months,
will take place in a temperature-controlled dry dock.
