05 October 2009 - ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems comments on Blohm and Voss

Following the publication online on 30 September of a story quoting as the source Deutsche Presse-Agentur as stating that “Blohm & Voss shipyards would cease superyacht” work Synfo.com contacted ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems for clarification. On their behalf  Michael Brasse Senior Manager Communication gave Synfo.com the following statement :



In regard of the recent publication on ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems Group, the restructuring concerns the facilities in Emden (TKMS Blohm + Voss Nordssewerke) and Kiel (HDW).

Blohm + Voss Shipyards, as part of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems in Hamburg, will adhere to its strategy as builder and designer of worlds leading yachts in the premium segment over 90m in length and not only concentrate on naval vessels and submarines.

The international market for shipbuilding activities is dominated by over-capacity and finds itself in a consolidation phase. In recent months in Germany and internationally a number of shipyards, including some with a long tradition in the industry, have become insolvent or have only been able to continue operating with state support.

Against this background, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems – like its competitors – conducts discussions in both the national and the international context on ways of dealing with the structural and cyclical crisis which has affected shipbuilding particularly badly.

ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems will not comment on the subject and content of these discussions and – as in the past – declines to respond to speculation and rumour.


With our special thanks to Michael Brasse at ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems,
