With ideas, creativity and passion, Tamsen Maritim has conquered a place for itself in the German shipyard landscape. A visit to the Warnow. Shipyards have always been exciting. That's why reports like to start with the history. Stories then deal with traditions and building numbers, legendary classes and old craftsmanship. Not so with Tamsen Maritim. Although the Rostock-Gehlsdorf site can be traced back to 1850, it has little to do with what you find today.

What were harmless lines on the chart below deck in meteorology were harsh reality up here. Why do people do this to themselves? Sailing...

It is a colourful ship that has been at the disposal of the French Navy for a few weeks now. The rescue and emergency tug Abeille Normandie arrived at German Naval Yards Kiel (GNYK) on 13 September 2021 together with its sister ship Abeille Méditerranée for modernisation work. Over the past few months, both ships have been converted into particularly efficient emergency towing vessels with rescue capacity in the largest dry dock in the Baltic Sea region with a length of 426 metres. After carrying out the final tests and inspections, GNYK handed over the Abeille Normandie to the customer, the French shipping company Les Abeilles from Le Havre, on 5 May. The 91 metre long and 22...
