ANADOLU Shipyard which is actually running for SSM (Turkish Undersecretariat of Defense Industries) two Turkish Navy projects (namely LCT and LST; Landing Craft Tank and Landing Ship Tank) is also attracting the interest of international defense industry players.
ANADOLU Shipyard has delivered the first LCT (TCG Ç-151) to Turkish Navy back in March 2012 and since that date, three more LCTs were successfully delivered to Turkish Navy. After the first successful delivery ANADOLU Shipyard intensified its efforts to promote its state of the art Navy vessels in international markets.
As a result of these efforts, the Managing Director of LURSSEN WERFT, Mr. Peter Kneipp has paid a visit to the Shipyard. Mr. Kneipp who has worked for MTU for more than 20 years, was appointed as the Managing Director of LURSSEN WERFT two months ago.
During the visit a frank and open conversation took place where Mr. Kneipp was informed about ANADOLU Shipyard Navy shipbuilding activities and two sides exchanged their views on possible ways of cooperation in national and international projects.
