TKMS and the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) today signed a preliminary agreement for the MEKO A-200 DEU project. The preliminary agreement serves to enable delivery of the first ship by the end of 2029 and to initiate key preparatory measures. The preparatory measures are scheduled to begin in February 2026.
Dr. Oliver Juckenhöfel, Executive Vice President Surface Vessels at TKMS, explains: “The preliminary agreement lays the foundation for the immediate ramp-up of the project. In particular, the agreement enables us to procure materials and begin immediate steelwork at the shipyard.”
The preliminary agreement initially covers procurement and work with a volume of up to €50 million until the end of March. If necessary, there is also the option of extending the contract in stages.
