The Fosen Nordseewerke are a shipyard in Emden ( East Friesland ). The company is best known as Nordseewerke .
The company has an eventful history and until 2010 was a subsidiary of the ThyssenKrupp Group in its ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) division. The shipyard was one of the largest German naval shipyards . By 2009 it had around 1,400 employees in the three areas of naval shipbuilding, merchant shipbuilding and ship repair. Large parts of the shipyard were taken over in 2010 by the SIAG Group, which wanted to manufacture components for the wind energy industry on a large scale and became insolvent in 2012.
After another change of ownership, insolvency proceedings were opened in 2015 over the assets of Nordseewerke and the company was dissolved. At the end of 2016, Nordseewerke Emden Shipyard began building ship parts , which went into bankruptcy in August 2018. After the entry of the Norwegian Fosen Yards , the shipyard has been operated as Fosen Nordseewerke GmbH since autumn 2018 .
The Emder Werft und Dockbetriebe GmbH, a subsidiary of the Hamburg-based company Seafort Advisors, which specializes in the shipping sector, is located on part of the site . This company focuses on the task as a repair and service shipyard. A partial location of TKMS remained on another partial area until March 2010.
history
Nordseewerke Emder Werft und Dock Aktiengesellschaft (1903–1911)
The company was founded in 1903 on the initiative of Emden's Lord Mayor Leo Fürbringer as "Nordseewerke" Emder Werft und Dock Aktien-Gesellschaft by Rhenish-Westphalian entrepreneurs and was one of the oldest large shipyards in Germany . With the expansion of the port of Emden and the construction of the Dortmund-Ems Canal , Emden had quickly risen to become one of the most important seaports in the Ruhr area , which made building a shipyard seem worthwhile.
First, a floating dock of 2,250 t was built on a 225 m long transverse slipway on a 20 hectare site as the first new building . Initially, various light utility ships were built. Since the demand for qualified shipyard workers could not be met in Emden alone, the company also recruited employees in other northern German port cities. In addition to the sharp rise in port handling, the Nordseewerke contributed to the fact that the population of Emden rose by 65 percent between 1890 and 1910. However, the shipyard ran into economic difficulties, which in 1908 led to the temporary closure of the company. This led to an exodus of skilled workers who were recruited in other cities.
German-Luxembourgish Mining and Steelworks Society, Dept. North Sea Works Emden (1912–1926)
The city of Emden intervened to keep operations going. The expansion into a large shipyard took place after 1911, when the industrialist Hugo Stinnes joined the Nordseewerke via the German-Luxembourgish Mining and Hütten-AG and four longitudinal shells were built. The commissioning of the Great Sea Lock Emden in 1913 (at the time one of the largest locks in the world with an interior length of 260 meters) made it possible to build larger ships.
In the first few years of its existence, the North Sea Works tended to build smaller ships; the largest freighter delivered up to 1914 had a load capacity of 2500 tdw. Nevertheless, the shipyard was the largest industrial company in the city at the time, and the verdict was retrospectively made: "The employment of the North Sea Works, along with the port operations, became a barometer for that Working and economic life in Emden; it fluctuated often and strongly. ”In 1914 the North Sea Works had 1200 employees.
In addition to other, smaller industrial companies, it was above all the North Sea Works that brought a trade union and later a social democratic component into urban political life for the first time in the port and trading town of Emden, which was until then politically liberal. In the years of the Weimar Republic , the KPD also gained a foothold in the shipyard, but in works council elections, candidates with a social democratic orientation usually prevailed over their communist rivals.
Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG Dept. North Sea Works Emden (1926–1933)
In the course of the transformation of the Stinnes Group on April 1, 1926, the name of the company was changed to Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG, Dept. Nordseewerke Emden ; In the following years of the global economic crisis , the shipyard was temporarily closed due to a lack of orders and became an independent company as of January 1, 1934 as Nordseewerke Emden GmbH . Both during the First and Second World Wars , a large number of boats and ships were built in Emden for the Imperial Navy and the German Navy .
The global economic crisis also had profound effects on the North Sea Works, which came close to a temporary closure of the shipyard: While the average number of employees in 1930 was 1750, in 1931 only 30 people were temporarily employed at the shipyard.
North Sea Works Emden (1934–1952)
When the Second World War broke out in September 1939, production at the North Sea Works was switched to war production. In the course of the war, foreign workers were also deployed, mostly forced laborers, some of whom were contracted on a voluntary basis. A total of 30 submarines were launched at the shipyard between 1941 and 1944 : 26 of the type VII C ( U 331 to 350 and U 1101 to 1106 ) and four of the type VII C / 41 ( U 1107 to 1110 ). Under the boot also having a novel rubber coating to absorb enemy was sonar waves provided U 1105 . The boats were either lost due to enemy action, were sunk towards the end of the war by the Navy itself or were handed over to the British Royal Navy after May 1945 .
During the time of National Socialism in Emden , the director of the Nordseewerke, Bruno Moeller, was both military economic leader and SA senior troop leader. It was classified in category IV in the denazification process. This assessment took into account the “apparently relatively good treatment of prisoners of war and foreign civilian workers” at the North Sea Works. In addition, his activity as director of the Nordseewerke was "non-political". Moeller was sentenced to a fine of 500 DM.
After 1945, the North Sea Works were not on the dismantling list. Just 14 days after the surrender, the shipyard resumed operations by converting former naval ships for civilian purposes. At the end of 1945 the number of employees was 1200, but by the currency reform in 1948 it sank again to 800 to 900 because the construction of new ships had been banned by the Allies.
In 1947 the Allied Control Council approved the construction of fish steamers. The first new building of this type, launched in 1949 , was the Lower Saxony steamer , which was christened in the presence of Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Hinrich Wilhelm Kopf ( SPD ). Hans Pabelick was the shipyard director at that time. The second new building was also named after a federal state of Bavaria , again in the presence of the then Prime Minister, Hans Ehard . At the Nordseewerke, the largest ship in the German merchant fleet at the time was repaired in 1949 and then put back into service. It was the turret decker Hermann Fritzen , which was built in 1906 and sunk in the port of Hamburg in 1944 . There it was lifted, towed to Emden for repairs and repaired with the help of the State of Lower Saxony. The largest German freighter at the time had a carrying capacity of 6580 tons. In 1950 the shipyard, in cooperation with Emden shipowners, laid the foundation for the reconstruction of an Emden merchant fleet by building the so-called " Potsdam ships ". The first four ships were named after Emden shipowners Hendrik Fisser , Jacobus Fritzen , Heinrich Schulte and Wilhelm Nübel .
Between 1951 and 1957 the shipyard built more than 20 ships of the so-called Emden type . It was a type of general cargo ship that could be used universally . The Emden class also included the freighter Melanie Schulte , which sank in the North Atlantic around or after Christmas 1952 for reasons that have not yet been clarified. The loss of Melanie Schulte, along with the sinking of the Pamir in 1957 and the Munich in 1978, is considered to be one of the greatest ship accidents in the German merchant navy of the post-war period.
Nordseewerke Emden (1952–1957) (subsidiary of Rheinstahl Union Maschinen- und Stahlbau AG, Düsseldorf)
In 1952 the shipyard became a subsidiary of Rheinstahl Union Maschinen- und Stahlbau AG , Düsseldorf. She took over the shipyard's share capital, which had been increased to ten million Deutschmarks. As a result, there was a massive expansion program: Not only was the last war damage removed, but the slipway and the capacities at the quays were also expanded. In addition, there were systems for section construction , i.e. the gradual construction of parts of the new ships to be built, and a dry dock for ships with up to 40,000 dwt. By the end of 1953, the workforce grew to around 4,000 employees, the company made profits that year a turnover of around 100 million German marks.
In December 1954, a newly built dry dock with a length of 218 m and a width of 32 m was inaugurated. The shipyard's full order book led to the extension of Helling II in order to be able to build new buildings with a load capacity of up to 30,000 tons. This was followed by an order from the Gutehoffnungshütte dock construction company in Nordenham - Blexen to build a floating dock for ships up to 177 meters in length.
In the 1950s, the Nordseewerke had a large number of company apartments built in the Herrentor district of Emden . Others were later added in the Borssum district .
Rheinstahl North Sea Works (1957–1974)
In 1957 the company was sold to Rheinische Stahlwerke Essen , later Rheinstahl AG . At the time of the takeover, the shipyard had a workforce of 5,200 people and a turnover of 150 million euros. In the years 1958/59 the shipyard built the ships of its own class Nordseewerke bulk carrier 17,100 tdw , including the Rheinstahl as the type ship . Most of the ships at that time were managed by the shipping company Frigga , which was a major customer for the shipyard even before the Second World War. However, the shipping company also established itself as a supplier for international customers, above all from Norway, but also from Finland, Great Britain, the USA, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece and other countries. The share of ship repairs made up about ten to 20 percent of total sales in the 1960s, which was due not least to the increase in shipping traffic in the port of Emden due to higher ore imports.
Between 1963 and 1966, the shipyard management implemented an extensive renovation program that primarily had structural effects. The most visible sign of this program was the demolition of the old crane systems over the slipway of the North Sea Works, which had shaped the appearance of the port and the city for decades, and the construction of a new gantry crane , which has shaped the silhouette of the city ever since. The crane built by Demag has a maximum load capacity of 450 tons and a height of 80 meters; it towered over every building in the city (until the Emden television tower was built in the early 1990s).
In those years, the number of employees at the shipyard fluctuated more frequently by several hundred people, which can be attributed to economic and political crises that have clearly affected international shipping and thus also shipbuilding. In 1957, the North Sea Works had 5,200 employees, but by 1963 the number fell to less than 4,000, after which it rose to the historic high of 5,400 in 1969. By 1975 the number sank to 4800. With these 4800 employees, the North Sea Works provided every sixth industrial employee in East Friesland in 1975, only the Volkswagen plant in Emden, which opened in 1964, had a comparably high number . Of the 4800 North Sea workers in 1975, 53 percent came from the seaport city itself, the other 47 percent from the East Frisian area. The economic importance went far beyond that due to the work of suppliers, other contractors and the associated purchasing power : For 1975 it is stated that around 25,000 people were directly economically dependent on the shipyard. With 370 trainees, it was also one of the largest training companies in the region.
Between 1951 and 1975, the North Sea Works delivered 179 new buildings with 4.1 million dwt. The export share exceeded that for domestic shipping companies: 97 ships with 2.8 million tdw went to foreign shipowners, 82 ships with 1.3 million tdw to German. Among the foreign shipping companies, those from Norway were far ahead: They received 37 ships with 1.07 million dwt. During that period, the Nordseewerke also specialized again in submarine construction: ten boats went to the German Navy, 15 to the Norwegian. The export share could also be measured in terms of sales, on average between 1954 and 1975 it was 65 percent, but in some years it was even 90 percent. In terms of ship types, general cargo carriers (54 ships) and bulk carriers (45 ships) together made up the lion's share.
Thyssen Nordseewerke (1974-2002)
This was taken over by Thyssen AG in 1974 and the shipyard operated as Thyssen Nordseewerke GmbH from 1976 . The shipyard crisis that began in the 1970s also had an impact on the Nordseewerke, which can be seen from the number of employees: At the end of 1975 the shipyard still had 4,800 employees, which, given a total number of employees in the West German shipbuilding industry of around 75,000, meant that about everyone 15. West German shipyard workers were North Sea workers, the number had dropped to 4,300 a year later. In August 1978 the helgen of the shipyard were empty, at that time 3900 employees still had their jobs at the shipyard. The majority of employees, however, had been affected by short-time working since mid-1977 . In that August 1978 only two liquid gas tankers ( LPG ) were still in the equipment. The repair capacity of the shipyard was also underutilized. Among other things, this was due to the fact that cargo handling in the port of Emden had declined in the wake of the steel crisis of those years and accordingly fewer ships called at the port of Emden: If the port achieved its best post-war result in 1974 with a total annual turnover of 15.5 million tons, so In 1978 the throughput amounted to 8.1 million tons, which was the worst result since 1959 (7.85 million tons).
The increased construction of naval ships could only partially compensate for the decline in cargo shipbuilding. In 1980, the frigate Emden, the fifth ship of a German Navy that bears this name, was laid on the keel . It was the first of those five ships that was also built in its godfather city, although the final equipment was taken over by the Bremer Vulkan . The launch took place on December 17, 1980, the commissioning almost three years later. In the 1980s and 1990s, the shipyard also built a number of submarines for the German, Norwegian , Argentine and Israeli navies. The number of employees at Nordseewerke was more or less constant in the 2000s at around 1,400.
TKMS Blohm + Voss Nordseewerke GmbH (until 2010)
At ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) it was planned in the course of 2010
- to continue the engineering area for marine surface vessels in Emden with the existing parts of the company at the Hamburg location as Blohm + Voss Naval GmbH ,
- Outsource the submarine engineering division in Emden as a branch of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW),
- to continue the repair and equipment operation in Emden as the Emden shipyard and dock operations as a subsidiary of TKMS .
On September 8, 2009 ThyssenKrupp announced that the remaining part of the Nordseewerke would be sold to Schaaf Industrie (SIAG).
After 106 years of shipbuilding in the North Sea works on 11 December 2009, the 228-meter-long container freighter was Frisia Cottbus last built there ship from the stack left.
The shipbuilding went to Blohm + Voss Naval or HDW and was discontinued in Emden. On March 8, 2010, a total of around 450 people were still employed at TKMS Blohm + Voss Nordseewerke in Emden.
In 2011, the task force supplier of class 702 Bonn (A 1413) for final equipment was located at Emder Werft und Dockbetriebe GmbH .
SIAG North Sea Works (2010-2013)
On March 8, 2010, Schaaf Industrie AG (SIAG) took over most of the shipyard in Emden, which under the name "SIAG Nordseewerke" produces components for offshore wind parks (tubular steel towers and girders as foundations as well as transition pieces for wind turbines and transformer platforms ) manufactures. Around 700 TKMS employees were taken on.
In mid-2012, SIAG Nordseewerke produced steel legs (so-called tripods) as foundations for the Trianel Windpark Borkum and Global Tech I offshore wind parks . In addition, the shell of a transformer platform is to be manufactured. These orders ensured that the capacity was used until 2013.
The parent company SIAG filed for insolvency on March 19, 2012 , which did not affect the Nordseewerke.
In October 2012, the critical financial situation of the Nordseewerke worsened because the Lower Saxony state government and NordLB had refused further loans and a guarantee. On October 17th, the management of Nordseewerke finally filed for insolvency at the competent Aurich district court.
Nordseewerke GmbH (2013-2015)
In 2013, after the approval of the creditors' committee, the Saarland DSD Steel Group (formerly Dillinger Stahlbau Dillingen) took over the company with the participation of Nord / LB. 412 of the 750 employees switched to two transfer companies, only 240 employees were taken over by DSD Steel .
At the end of May 2015, the management filed for insolvency due to impending insolvency. At that time, the Nordseewerke still had 188 employees, most of them on short-time work from September 2014 . The Aurich district court appointed an external insolvency administrator. An attempt was made to get companies to invest in the location. Interested parties were e.g. B. the Holding Seafort Advisors in Hamburg and also the Meyer shipyard in nearby Papenburg.
Nordseewerke Emden Shipyard (2015-2018)
From autumn 2015 51 employees were employed at the successor company Nordseewerke Emden Shipyard GmbH (NES) of Seafort Advisors, 14 employees moved to Emder Werft und Dock GmbH (EWD) and 110 employees to a transfer company, which ceased operations at the end of February 2016.
In December 2016, Nordseewerke Emden Shipyard (NES) started building ship parts for Meyer-Werft Papenburg with 60 employees. The contract period was three years. The contract was not extended after it expired in September 2018.
On September 1, 2017, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) announced the closure of the Emden site, which last had 220 employees. In February 2018, IG Metall Coast announced that the closure would be suspended for three years until the end of 2020.
In August 2018, Nordseewerke Emden Shipyard GmbH filed for insolvency on its own. The bankruptcy court decided in October 2018 that the previous company could be wound up.
Fosen Nordseewerke GmbH (since 2018)
The last 85 employees at NES were transferred to the newly founded company Fosen Nordseewerke GmbH in October 2018 . The new main shareholder with 51% is the Norwegian shipbuilding company Fosen Yard . In January 2019, the company filed for bankruptcy. On April 1, 2019, Fosen Yard took over the entire shipyard. The Norwegian shipbuilding company plans to operate the Emden site under a new name in the future. In May 2019, the company announced that it had received a major order from the Norwegian fishing group Norway Royal Salmon to build two ocean-going salmon farm prototypes. Parts of the order worth around 35 million euros are to be taken over by the subsidiary Fosen Yards Emden.

Submarines
During the First World War , the shipyard was fully occupied with orders from the Imperial Navy , for which it built minesweepers and outpost boats. From 1919, the construction of UG class submarines was also planned for the first time , but this was not done due to the circumstances of the war. After 1918, the North Sea Works did not build any warships until the end of the 1930s. From 1939 the construction of submarines for the Navy began . Annually nine boats of the type VII C should be completed, for which 1,800 workers were planned; the rest of the workforce should carry out repairs on surface vessels. The shipyard delivered a total of 30 boats from 1941 to 1944: 26 of the type VII C (U 331 to 350 and U 1101 to 1106) and four of the type VII C / 41 (U 1107 to 1110). The orders to build four more boats of the type VII C / 41 (U 1111 to 1114) and six boats of the type VII C / 42 (U 1115 to 1120) were canceled.
After the Second World War, the shipyard u. a. the export drafts class 207 (Kobben class) and class 210 (Ula class) for Norway as well as the TR 1700 for Argentina and partly the Dolphin class for Israel . The Nordseewerke were involved in building the class 206 and 212 submarines of the German Navy .
The last generation of submarines to be built by the NSWE was the Class 212 A, developed in cooperation with the HDW shipyard in Kiel .
More naval ships
The shipyard built a number of frigates for the German Navy (formerly the German Navy ), mostly in cooperation with HDW, Blohm + Voss and the Lürssen shipyard in Lemwerder . The frigates Emden , Bavaria and Hesse, which are currently in service , were launched at the North Sea Works .
Another special boat that was delivered at the beginning of 2004 is the Planet , which was built on behalf of the German armed forces as a defense research and test ship using SWATH technology .
Merchant ships
The 1950s were characterized by full order books and large series, for example of the "Emden" type, which was built over 20 times . In the 1960s and 1970s in particular, the shipyard was a leader in the development of a whole range of new types of ships . Among other things, the shipyard was innovative in the field of coal and ore bulk cargo shipbuilding and manufactured, for example, almost all ships of the shipping company Frigga , which is partly owned by Rheinstahl , including z. B. Ships of the type Nordseewerke bulk carrier 17,100 dwt .
The shipyard continued to build bulk goods transporters for cars from the mid-1960s and the first ConRo ships in the world were built by the North Sea Works from 1967. At the end of the 1960s, the Euroliner series was the world's first gas turbine container ship . Like the SL-7 class , two of which were built in 1973 at the North Sea Works, these held the speed record for cargo ships in the transatlantic service. The Universal Superliners were built from 1970 to 1972 . The largest newbuildings of those years included the bulk carrier Fernlane (delivered in 1975) with a deadweight of 123,000 tonnes, which was delivered for the Norwegian shipping company Fearnley & Eger , and the tanker Tiiskeri (delivered in 1969), which sailed under the Finnish flag and was over everything of 272 meters exceeded the length of the large sea lock in Emden (260 meters inland length) and could therefore only leave the port with the lock gates open on both sides.
In the commercial shipbuilding sector, Nordseewerke has been concentrating on the manufacture of container ships for several years. Most recently, the focus was on container ships of the TNSW 2500 type , which, depending on the design, can accommodate up to 2,700 20-foot standard containers (2,700 TEU ). In 2005, orders for two 3400 TEU container ships were signed. Of all the container ships built by the Nordseewerke, the ones with the highest number of TEU to date ended up in the construction of several ships of the TNSW-3400 type. The first ship was delivered to the shipping company in August 2008. The last ship to be built by Nordseewerke is the 228-meter-long Frisia Cottbus container freighter , which was launched on December 11, 2009.
Special shipbuilding
The shipyard also built two cruise ships in the early 1970s . One of the two ships became world famous: The Sea Venture , launched in 1971 , later became the Pacific from the internationally broadcast television series Love Boat . The sister ship was the Island Venture . Both were built for the cruise line Norwegian Cruiseships.
On the other hand, one project in the early 1980s had little economic success: The seawater desalination demonstration plant ( MEDA ), which had been expected to be a sales success in arid areas, failed to gain acceptance.
In the mid-1980s, Nordseewerke retrofitted two icebreakers with a specially redesigned bow, the Thyssen-Waas bow , for Soviet clients . The specially shaped bow cuts through the ice and does not break it, as is the case with conventional icebreakers. The two icebreakers thus converted were the Mudyug and the Captain Sorokin .
The shipyard made headlines in 1999 when it built the world's largest suction dredger , the Vasco da Gama , for the Belgian company Jan de Nul.
