After 23 years the watch is changing
07 May 2010
Werner Lüken is leaving the management of Lloyd Werft to chair the company's Supervisory Board as from 1 July
Some might find it hard to believe: After captaining Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven for 23 years, the company’s Managing Director Werner Lüken, 70, will be retiring from this position on 30 June 2010. However, Lüken is not leaving the long-established Bremerhaven company altogether: He will remain with the company as its new Chairman of the Supervisory Board, elected by both the Shareholders’ Meeting and the Supervisory Board at their joint meeting on 30 April. In his new role, Lüken will succeed Wolfgang van Betteray, who will stay on as an ordinary member of the company’s Supervisory Board. Going forward, Lloyd Werft will be steered by the two remaining Managing Directors: On 1 July 2010, Rüdiger Pallentin, 56, who has been a member of the Management Board since 2000, will become the new spokesman of the Board, succeeding Lüken. Carsten J. Haake, 43, has been Lloyd Werft’s Commercial Director for the last seven years.

Shorter Ferries to Carry More Passengers
Press release // 28. September 2010
Lloyd Werft shipyard wins contract to convert two ro-ro ferries for Stena RoRo AB – “Stena Trader” and “Stena Traveller” are to be shortened by 12.00 meters – for service in Canada, with work starting October 1st, 2010.
During more than twenty years, ship extensions have become virtually routine projects for Lloyd Werft. The Bremerhaven shipyard has lengthened 21 cruise liners and freighters, adopting dramatically innovative techniques in some cases, and earning an outstanding reputation for doing so throughout the world-wide shipbuilding market. But work to be undertaken in the fourth quarter of this year will be the first project to shorten the hulls of two large Stena ro-ro ferries. The “Stena Trader” and the “Stena Traveller” – both built as late as 2006 / 2008 – will each be shortened by 12.00 meters to 200,00 meters, with the work starting on October 1st, 2010. The hulls must be shorted so that both ships can service the narrow island ports of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland starting in 2011. Lloyd Werft will be allowed 55 days to complete the conversion of each ship.

Heavy Lift Dock Ship MS “COMBI DOCK IV” on Course for Rotterdam after Naming Ceremony at Lloyd Werft Shipyard – Plans to Continue Cooperation – Appeal to Banks and Political Leadership
Shipping company owner Peter Harren said it proudly: The building of four specialized heavy lift vessels at Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven was “a grand achievement.” At the same time, Harren backed up the hope that Rüdiger Pallentin, Managing Director of the Lloyd Werft shipyard had expressed when the last of this construction series was delivered, underlining: “I am fairly certain that there will be no more than a brief pause in our cooperation.” At the Danish/German joint venture K/S Combi Lift, plans are being considered to build two additional heavy lift dock ships as soon as sufficient financing has been secured.

Four Specialized Vessels in Two Years
Press release // 04. Januar 2010
On 8 January, Lloyd Werft will deliver MS “Combi Dock IV” as the fourth and last newbuilt vessel for Combi Lift.
This is the fourth and last in the series of vessels newly built for K/S Combi Lift within two years, which the shipyard Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven GmbH will deliver this Friday (8 January 2010): MS “Combi Dock IV” represents the completion, for now, of the cooperation between the Danish/German joint venture Combi Lift – a joint venture of the shipping companies J. Poulsen Shipping A/S (Korsør) and Harren & Partner (Bremen) – and the Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven GmbH. “This was a wonderful example of cooperation, which we would not have missed for anything, and which we will hopefully be able to continue," was the conclusion for Lloyd Werft drawn by Managing Director Rüdiger Pallentin, who added with great satisfaction that to date all three of the specialized vessels delivered since 22 December 2007 had performed “faultlessly and without a hitch” on the international markets. Number four will now follow on Friday with a naming ceremony at Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven scheduled for 4 p.m.
