pre-fitting of the volume sections (up to 320 tonnes) and block sections (up to 750 tonnes) and the fitting out of the deckhouses in the dock hall are striking technological features of the shipyard. In June 2022, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems announced that it would take over the site and use the hall for the construction of military ships and submarines from 2024 on. thyssenkrupp Marine Systems is one of the world‘s leading naval companies with around 6,500 employees and is active as a system provider in submarine and surface shipbuilding as well as in the field of maritime electronics and safety technology. More than 180 years of history and the constant striving for improvement allow the company to set new standards again and again. The company’s plan (fore-) sees up to 1,500 employees/members of staff working in Wismar. Another strong sign of the shipyard‘s ability to transform is the settlement of the traditional Hamburg-based Eppendorf company. From May 2023, Eppendorf SE will produce laboratory consumables for biomedical research and diagnostics on a former MV Werften Fertigmodule Property GmbH production site in Wismar. The site comprises more than 20,000 m² of usable space with production and storage areas as well as office and ancillary buildings. Depending on the order situation, the plant will be designed for up to 500 employees. Wismar harbour crane
