As
a leading full-service naval shipbuilding systems and solutions provider,
ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems enjoys longstanding strategic ties with
India. For more than a quarter of a century, the Indian Navy has been
operating four HDW Class 209/1500 submarines, locally known as the
“Shishumar” class. The after-sales service provider Marine
Logistik GmbH (MARLOG) – which was integrated into ThyssenKrupp
Marine Systems last year – has been a partner to the Indian
Navy for more than two decades, delivering spare parts for the “Shishumar”
class. This successful cooperation is now being continued under the
new affiliation. At present, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems is in discussions
with the Indian Navy to support the upgrading of two of these vessels
through the integration of the latest weapons and sensors, including
HARPOON anti-ship missiles. Furthermore, the company is supplying
sophisticated composite structures for the P-28 corvettes currently
being built at Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd.
