Newbuilding of Ships

The Egyptian Navy has placed an order with thyssenkrupp Marine Systems for four MEKO A200 frigates, with the first three ships to be built in Bremerhaven.

The first ship, which was launched on April 27, 2021, was handed over to the Egyptian Navy by thyssenkrupp Marine Systems after a construction period of 39 months. Ship two is currently undergoing sea trials and the third ship is expected to be delivered in August 2023.

There are very few cases of newly built tall ships today – nonetheless, in 2010, we took on the challenge of building the new three-mast barque “Alexander von Humboldt II“.

The 65-meter-long, 10-meter-wide ship shell was built at our Bremen premises at Zur Westpier 40. In Bremerhaven, the tall ship was outfitted with masts, yardarms, sails and all other gear.

Just as its predecessor (the world renowned, old “Alex”), the new three-mast barque will serve as a youth and training vessel for sail training programs. Since 2015, the Alex II once again flies the greatly admired, iconic green sails.

We built the Ro-Ro vessel “Kugelbake” for Wulf Seetransporte GmbH & Co.KG in 2009.

The special purpose vessel, named after the landmark of the city of Cuxhaven (a wooden, 30-meter tall navigation marker), measures approximately 80 meters in length and 19 meters in width and was built at our Bremen premises at Zur Westpier 40.

The ship was built for the periodic transport of large shipping containers from Nordenham to Hamburg. It can also be employed as a transport vessel in the offshore-sector.
