The GERMAN NAVAL YARDS shipyard looks back with pride on over 185 years of experience and tradition in shipbuilding. Originating from the former surface shipbuilding of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW), the Kiel shipyard is part of the international CMN NAVAL group and thus continues the long-standing shipbuilding tradition on the Kiel Fjord.
Paired with innovative, state-of-the-art shipbuilding, this long-term industrial presence in the naval defence sector is a solid foundation for the professional expertise and activities essential for opening up sustainable opportunities for expansion and growth.
