The north-west of the republic is home to numerous shipyards with a global reputation. Civil and military shipbuilding form a symbiosis. The coastal states of Lower Saxony and Bremen are traditionally home to an efficient, future-orientated and globally active maritime industry. It is made up of shipyards, system providers, component manufacturers, facilities and technical and commercial service companies. Naval shipbuilding is particularly important. Maritime industry on the Weser The Fr. Lürssen shipyard, founded in 1875 and based in Bremen-Vegesack, is a world-class northern German shipbuilding company with 2,700 employees.

After almost three decades, the Bundeswehr has returned to national and alliance defence. The necessary change can be mastered with system alliances. At the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the Bundeswehr - after 35 years of development - had achieved a good position in the conventional arms race with the Warsaw Pact and in comparison with the other NATO partners. As surprisingly as the Cold War ended, there was little certainty as to how the costly armed forces should continue. With the equipment and training for the large-scale, intensive war on the European continent, the Bundeswehr was deployed in a wide variety of different...

Originally planned as a face-to-face event, this year's Maritime Convention participants were able to listen to the two-part presentation on China! Maritime driver for Europe?! via webinar. The DMI hosted the event together with griephan in his customary expert manner.
