The DEUTSCHE GESELLSCHAFT FÜR WEHRTECHNIK e.V. is holding the symposium "Prospects for the defence industry 2022" on 7 March 2022. Offline. For more than 10 years, the Defence Industry Perspectives Symposium has been the kick-off event of DWT and SGW for the respective event year. It has proved extremely successful in this function.

The three ships were built by the Norwegians (United European Car Carriers, UECC) in quick succession at the Jiangnan shipyard in China. The launching of construction number H 2665 took place on 28 December, just seven months after the keel was laid and follows the recent final delivery of the first newbuilding, named AUTO ADVANCE, the second and third of which are to be delivered in the first half of this year.
