German Shipyards Nobiskrug and FSG Secured by New Owners

Lürssen and Heinrich-Rönner-Group take over struggling shipyards, offering renewed hope for workers and future projects.

The Bremer Lürssen Group has acquired the Nobiskrug shipyard in Rendsburg, while the Heinrich-Rönner-Group will take over the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) in Flensburg.
Both shipyards, previously owned by Lars Windhorst's Tennor Group, faced insolvency proceedings in late 2024 due to prolonged financial difficulties.
The FSG site will collaborate with the Australian company SeaRoad to complete an unfinished ferry project, with work expected to resume soon after technical preparations.
Employees from both shipyards will initially transition to transfer companies before potentially rejoining under the new ownership, though not all may be retained immediately.
The new owners aim to revitalize the shipyards with a focus on maritime, defense, and renewable energy projects, including offshore wind infrastructure and naval vessels.
