Thyssenkrupp is to separate its shipbuilding segment from its industrials division with a view to selling its yards business.

The group’s marine unit will be spun off from its Industrial Solutions division and managed directly by Thyssenkrupp from October 1.

There are likely to be at least two suitors for the yards division, one from Germany as well as a French contender, according to Reuters.
