The large German shipyard in Wismar is the first in the world to build supertankers under cover. The ships are built in an indoor dry dock with an accordion-type door claimed to be the biggest in the world. The door is 64 metres high, 72 metres wide, weighs 280 tonnes and can handle wind forces up to 150 km/h. Several leading door manufacturers competed to win the prestige order.
