The German mechanical engineering and shipbuilding AG Rostock (DMS) was a German shipbuilding company .
On June 1, 1990, DMS was founded by the Treuhandanstalt in Berlin. The DMS was the legal successor to the VEB Kombinat Schiffbau and a member of the Association for Shipbuilding and Marine Technology (VSM).
On June 8, 1990, with effect from June 1, 1990, the Treuhandanstalt in Berlin converted the state- owned companies of the Shipbuilding Combine into 24 limited liability companies and assigned them as subsidiaries of DMS, namely:
- seven shipyards,
- ten specialized mechanical engineering companies,
- an electrical engineering company,
- five consulting and engineering companies
- and the trading house Schiffscommerz.
The shipyards are those who were involved in the seagoing shipbuilding:
- the Warnow shipyard , Rostock-Warnemünde,
- the Volkswerft Stralsund , Stralsund,
- the MTW - Mathias-Thesen-Werft , Wismar,
- the Neptun shipyard , Rostock,
- the Peene shipyard in Wolgast
- the Elbe shipyard Boizenburg , Boizenburg / Elbe
- the Rosslau shipyard , Rosslau / Elbe
Supplier companies were u. a.
- VEB Dieselmotorenwerk Rostock ,
- the VEB Kühlautomat Berlin ,
- VEB Schiffselektronik Rostock ,
- the VEB foundry and machine Torgelow ,
- VEB Isolier- und Kältetechnik Schiffbau,
- the VEB Maschinenbau Halberstadt ,
- the VEB ship plant Barth .
task
The task of DMS according to the guidelines of the Treuhandanstalt was to run these 24 companies and to convert them to West German standards, and to privatize them in a way that was as job-friendly as possible.
Problem
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s and the end of GDR membership in Comecon due to the monetary, economic and social union , the East German shipyards and their suppliers lost their main sales market. The companies were also burdened by wage increases following the German monetary, economic and social union . As a result, unit labor costs rose well above the level of West German industry and reduced competitiveness.

Privatizations
The Neptun shipyard was incorporated into the Bremer Vulkan by the Treuhandanstalt . The Volkswerft Stralsund , the Mathias-Thesen-Werft and the Rostock diesel engine plant were also taken over by the Bremer Vulkan ; the Warnow shipyard went to Kværner . The inland shipyards in Boizenburg and Rosslau went to Dieter Petram .
New Oderwerft (VEB Oderwerft Eisenhüttenstadt)
When the shipbuilding combine was privatized , DM 854 million in EU funds intended for the eastern shipyards were illegally used to rehabilitate the parent companies of the western German town of Bremer Vulkan .
