Question

The Hamburg and Bremen industrial region of Germany are famous for _________________.

• A. iron and steel industry
• B. automobile industry
• C. ship building industry
• D. electrical equipment industry

Answer 1

The correct option is C ship building industry

Shipbuilding industry,

Germany has always been an important shipping and shipbuilding nation. Germany's military ship production is a very small percentage of its commercial ship production, as measured by GRT. German military ship production peaked at about 51,000 equivalent GRT in 1984 and reached that level again in 2006. It has averaged about 15,000 equivalent GRT per year since 1980. UK warship and auxiliary ship production has averaged about 24,000 equivalent GRT per year over roughly the same period. Thus, the shipbuilding industries of the United Kingdom and Germany are very different. The United Kingdom has maintained a larger military shipbuilding industry than Germany has but with almost no commercial ship industry, while Germany has maintained a solid commercial ship industry but a comparatively small military shipbuilding industry.
