The field of weapons manufacturing and sales is under discussion here. - The Authorizing Body has endorsed the corporation responsible for frigate construction.
The German Competition Authority has given the green light to a partnership between Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH (TKMS) and NVL B.V. & Co. KG, a subsidiary of Lürssen. There are no competition worries connected to this collaboration, the authority stated. The collaboration aims to jointly put forward proposals and execute the naval project Fregatte 127 for the German Navy.
The Fregatte 127 is intended to replace and enhance the capabilities of the existing Fregattenklasse F124. The objective is to construct and design five frigates, with the possibility of an additional sixth ship. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in mid-2025. Both companies have worked together previously, such as in the creation of the Fregattenklasse F125.
In the words of Andreas Mundt, President of the German Competition Authority, joint partnerships in shipbuilding are a frequent and economically necessary occurrence. "The complexity and scale of such projects often necessitate the pooling of resources and expertise to meet the stringent demands of bids."
This joint partnership between TKMS and Lürssen's subsidiary will significantly contribute to the shipbuilding industry, as they collaborate on the construction of the Fregatte 127 ships. The partnership aims to leverage the strengths of both companies to deliver high-quality vessels that will meet the German Navy's requirements.
