The industry team also includes Embraer Defence and Security as well as its subsidiary Atech. TKMS, based in Kiel, Germany, has no production facilities for surface ships, which means the company must make arrangements for local production when selling its flagship vessel design overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pick of the Oceana yard, which specializes in offshore support vessels and is owned by CBO Group of Rio de Janeiro, was the result of the TKMS\u2019 own economic and logistical analyses and turned out to be an \u201cideal option,\u201d according to a spokesman.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/global\/europe\/2020\/05\/15\/german-shipyard-shuffle-clears-path-for-mks-180-warship-program-to-proceed\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2018_09_04_German_Naval_Yards_IMG_9266.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">German shipyard shuffle clears path for MKS 180 warship program to proceed<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">An agreement by L\u00fcrssen and German Naval Yards Kiel has dislodged a major legal roadblock in the multibillion-dollar program to build the large frigate-type vessels for the Navy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe shipyard also offers us the prospect of taking on follow-on orders \u2014 not only locally, but also in other countries of South America,\u201d CEO Rolf Wirtz was quoted as saying in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The acquisition is subject to approval by Brazilian antitrust authorities, and it is contingent on the frigate contract going into effect sometime in the \u201cmiddle of the year,\u201d the statement read. A company spokesman declined to name a date. Parties involved in the planned transaction would not disclose a price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u00c1guas Azuis consortium aims to deliver the Tamandar\u00e9-class frigates between 2025 and 2028. The companies aim to train 800 local employees for the job. \u201cThis means that ships with a very high domestic added value can be built in Brazil,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Embraer is slated to be the systems integrator for weapons and sensors on the new ships. Atech, with help from TKMS subsidiary Atlas Elektronik, will supply the combat management system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oceana shipyard in southern Brazil could also
