Another location for the naval arsenal in Rostock would be a gain for the German Navy. The capacities of the naval arsenal in Wilhelmshaven are already insufficient to maintain the naval vessels. The reductions in recent years, particularly in operations at the Kiel site, have led to a constant deficit in the maintenance phases. As the navy could also receive two more frigates following the latest decisions as part of the 100 billion special fund, the utilisation of a dry dock in Rostock would also be a positive point.

As the decision to operate ten instead of just five corvettes five years ago has already increased the number of units in Warnemünde, this is another point in Rostock's favour. IG Metall Küste welcomes the decision. In the short term, this means a gain of 500 jobs - the benefits for service providers and suppliers can currently only be guessed at.
