New submarine order creates up to 1,500 jobs in Wismar!

The Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) has received a highly significant order for the production of German submarines, which could potentially create up to 1,500 new jobs in their shipyard in Wismar. The order confirmed by a company spokesman includes the construction of a total of six submarines, including two for Norway. According to Wallstreet-online.de , the total volume of this project is on impressive 4.7 billion euros. Preparations for a complete utilization of the manufacturing capacities in Wismar are already underway, which indicates a timely implementation.

economic impulses and value creation

A decisive aspect of this submarine project is domestic added value, since 90 percent of the income from the order should remain in Germany. This will not only benefit the coastal region in which the shipyard is located, but also to the southern Germany, where about a third of the added value will flow. In addition, the Bundestag's budget committee will probably deal with further financial support for this entrepreneurial project on Wednesday, such as boersennews.de . The urgency of the project is also underpinned by the security policy dimension, which makes the construction of these submarines necessary to strengthen the maritime defense.

The renovation and expansion of the shipyard in Wismar, which TKMS 2022 took over, is expected to have a significant impact on the local economy and raise employment in the region to a new level.
