Gigantul german Rheinmetall preia Șantierul Naval Mangalia. Guvernul salută investiția strategică • Newsweek România

The acquisition of Mangalia Shipyard by German defense giant Rheinmetall marks a significant geopolitical shift in the Black Sea region. The Romanian government views this investment as a means to revitalize the national shipbuilding industry and integrate the facility into the EU military production chain. Rheinmetall aims to transform the struggling industrial site into a strategic defense hub for NATO's Eastern Flank. This move follows the insolvency of the previous Dutch owner, Damen Shipyards, and is expected to create jobs and enhance military shipbuilding capabilities in Romania. The government emphasizes the importance of this project for national security and the development of the local defense industry.
