The Rickmers shipyard was founded in Geestemünde in 1834 by the Helgoland shipowner Rickmer Clasen Rickmers , the repair shop moved to the Bremerhaven Kaiserhafen in 1987 and was taken over by the Lloyd shipyard as the main shareholder. It later became today's Rickmers Lloyd Dockbetrieb GmbH & Co. KG , whose work is mainly carried out in its own floating dock . In addition to the docking, shipbuilding repairs and ship conversions are carried out. Another focus is mechanical engineering with repairs to main and auxiliary drives.

In 2013 Rickmers Lloyd Dockbetrieb was merged with the Ship Technology division of MWB Motorenwerke Bremerhaven to form German Dry Docks . This new company, which is also part of the Petram Group, is located at Barkhausenstrasse  60 in Bremerhaven and has around 100 employees. It has four of its own docks in Bremerhaven, and there is also a cooperation with the Lloyd shipyard on two further large docks.

German Dry Docks, in turn, merged in 2017 with Bredo, also based in Bremerhaven, and Mützelfeldtwerft, based in Cuxhaven, to form a group of companies whose legally independent companies operate jointly on the market under the name Bredo Dry Docks in order to be able to use synergy effects.

In July 2019 Petram sold all of its shipbuilding activities in Bremerhaven (Bredo and German Dry Docks ) to the Rönner Group.
