history

The Peenewerft on the Peenestrom

The shipyard was founded on June 20, 1948 by the Soviet military administration . Initially, cutters and coasters were built as reparations for the Soviet Union . In 1951 the construction of naval ships began. Until the fall of the Wall , mainly light torpedo speedboats (LTS boats), minesweepers and minesweepers in short and long form (the state yacht Ostseeland is based on this model), landing ships and submarine hunters for the People's Navy and for the Soviet Union were built. In principle, almost the entire fleet of the Volksmarine came from the Peene shipyard. At the end of the 1970s a number of sea bucket chain dredgers were laid down for the USSR. Besides, they produced as part of the partisan prescribed "consumer goods" in the 1980s small cabin cruisers with cars - combustion engines . The shipyard was a state- owned enterprise in the shipbuilding combine of the GDR. The number of employees in 1989 was around 2900.

1992 to 2010 - part of the Hegemann Group

After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the shipyard was privatized by the then Treuhandanstalt and since 1992 has belonged to the Hegemann Group based in Bremen . As part of a job creation program and to support the shipyard in the initially difficult time of privatization, the steel ships Fridtjof Nansen , Roald Amundsen and Nobile, which were (renamed) after polar researchers , were converted into traditional sailors or renewed in the Peene shipyard . After 2000, the shipyard mainly built special and container ships . In 2003 the turnover was 113.3 million euros.

2010 to 2012

On June 7, 2010, the shipyard was realigned, and the merger of Volkswerft Stralsund GmbH and Peene-Werft GmbH resulted in P + S Werften GmbH . The shareholders were the Hegemann Group with around seven percent stake and HSW Treuhand und Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH with around 93 percent. The number of employees was around 750 in 2012.

The shipyard has three shipbuilding halls as well as a dry dock and a ship lift. The dry dock holds ships up to 160 m in length and 27 m in width. The ship lift for ships up to 110 m long and 15 m wide, together with one of the shipbuilding halls, is reserved for military units.

The width of the ships that could be built is essentially limited by the passage opening of the bridge over the Peene in Wolgast and is 28 meters.

According to the Ostsee-Zeitung, the managing director of P + S Werften GmbH , Dieter Brammertz, declared in March 2012 that there would probably be no more shipbuilding in Wolgast; the Peene would be too small to build larger ships, and the company would rely on the construction of parts for offshore wind turbines , so-called jackets. In August 2012, the set P + S Shipyards GmbH a bankruptcy petition .

Since the end of 2012 - part of the Lürssen Group

In December 2012, the Wolgaster shipyard was taken over for around 17 million euros by the Lürssen Group from Bremen, which relocated the construction of two foreships for the frigate 125 of the German Navy to Wolgast. In the takeover process of the insolvency of the P + S Shipyards GmbH also had Abu Dhabi MAR (ADM) signaled their interest.

At the beginning of September 2013, a new cutting center for the construction of ships for the foreign and German navy was put into operation at the shipyard . There are u. a. an order to build 30 patrol boats, each 35–40 meters long, for Saudi Arabia . An export ban was imposed on the patrol boats in November 2018, as a result of which the shipyard had to register short-time work for a large part of the workforce.
