One threw (old niederl. /friesl.: At the water builds. (see also: Threw)) an enterprise is to the building and to the repair of boats and ships. The shipbuilding place of one threw is the mounting jig or the Helgen. Everyone on it built ship receives a building NR. (Build number) - a always sequential counter, which the respective number so far on threw built ships indicates. Also used for plants for production and basic repair of airships and airplanes partly the expression threw (airship-thrown, airplane-thrown).

The first shipyards, on which ships in series developed, were probably built by the Karthagern and Later the Romans had expanded throwing complexes, particularly to the building of Galeeren.
Long time took place the building from ships in the shipyards ashore. The first surely proven and this very day existing dry docks originated in under Zheng He in Nanking, China, for the building of the legendary treasure fleet at the beginning 15. Century. With this development the building of large ships long over 100 m became possible.
For repair purposes 1839 were invented by American engineer Gilbert the floating dock. Floating docks function similarly as submarines: For bringing the ships in they are flooded and dive so far that that can bring ship in which can be repaired. Subsequently, the water is pumped out from the tanks or squeezed out with compressed air, so that the floating dock with the ship emerges so far that the soil is drying. The new building of ships takes place increasingly in large, closed resounding.
Of 16. Century into the center 20. Century were the largest shipyards first in Europe, then also in North America.
In the course of the so-called shipyard crisis in Europe shipbuilding capacities were diminished, the largest throwing capacities developed now in Japan, South Korea and China.
The three large shipyards Blohm & Voss, Hamburg, German North Sea works, Emden (both ThyssenKrupp shipyards) and HDW were together closed on 5 January 2005. In addition the Thyssen Krupp company, which was already owner of Blohm & Voss and the North Sea works, took over the HDW of the US financial investor One Equity of partner. In the context of the assumption the Americans got 25 per cent at the new group and 240 million euro in bar. Thus in particular the submarine technology of the HDW for the German locations is secured.
