The further cooperation was formally announced at the EURONAVAL maritime trade fair in Paris on 5 November 2024. The signed partnership is not new territory for either shipyard; both shipyards already support each other with the multi-purpose vessels for the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport. The first multi-purpose vessel is currently moored at the pier at Fassmer and is being fitted out by Abeking & Rasmussen. A 105 metre long hydrographic vessel (BHO) for the Indonesian navy is on its way from Indonesia to the Weser. This is also a joint project between the two shipyards.

The workhorse of the Leibnitz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), the research vessel "Elisabeth Mann Borgese", had sudden technical problems with the steering gear and stabilisers and had to be taken to the Peene shipyard in Wolgast for an unscheduled repair. The ship was built in 1986 at the former Kröger shipyard in Schacht-Audorf near Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein and the steering gear is still original. It was necessary to find specialists who were still familiar with the technology, as a retired shipbuilder had already been activated in the past who was still able to use a certain hand-polishing process.

Frigate Ex-"Karlsruhe": Blasting

Since it was decommissioned, the "Karlsruhe" has been prepared for this by installing countless sensors, among other things, and maintained at the necessary level. In particular, large parts of the propulsion systems are kept in operation and regularly...
