ThyssenKrupp has refrained from commenting on speculation that it might sell its Blohm+Voss division.
Newspapers in Germany last week reported that ThyssenKrupp was in the process of negotiating the sale of three Blohm+Voss operations. ThyssenKrupp said it would not comment on the content or purposes of the talks but said it was in talks at both a national and international level on how to tackle the economic crisis.
