Rheinmetall a cumpărat Şantierul Naval Mangalia la a cincea licitaţie. Germanii refuzaseră iniţial să respecte promisiunea de achiziție

Damen Mangalia shipyard has been sold to Rheinmetall Real Estate Romania SRL for 138 million euros, marking a significant step towards resuming operations at this key industrial site. The sale follows a series of unsuccessful attempts to sell the shipyard, which had entered bankruptcy after a failed reorganization plan. The Romanian government welcomed the acquisition, highlighting its potential to create jobs and enhance national defense capabilities. Rheinmetall's investment is seen as crucial for revitalizing the shipyard and strengthening Romania's position in military shipbuilding within NATO.
