German Dry Docks was created as a shipyard association of Rickmers-Lloyd -Dockbetrieb and the Ship Technology division of MWB Motorenwerke Bremerhaven .
The shipyard association was formed in early 2013 with around 100 employees. This included four own floating docks.

The close cooperation with Bredo in Bremerhaven and the Mützelfeldtwerft in Cuxhaven was further developed, and on January 1, 2018 these were merged within the shipyard alliance German Dry Docks Group . Bredo took over the operational dock business of the German Dry Docks .
