Blohm + Voss for sale?

摘要

The ThyssenKrupp German management board has reportedly issued a statement informing the works council that it is in early discussions with investors about selling Blohm + Voss ship repairing, ship construction and engineering companies in Hamburg.rnAround 1700 workers could be affected by the sale. Herbert Oetting chairman of the works council is reported to have said: "for some months now, there have been several indications that the group might consider disposing of its merchant shipbuilding activities". Naval shipbuilding activities may be excluded from such a sale. Although, the company has declined to comment on these reports it has confirmed that it is holding talks on the best way to address the current shipbuilding condition.
