Nobiskrug and FSG File for Insolvency
Two long-established German shipyards, Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) and Nobiskrug, have filed for insolvency amid ongoing financial difficulties faced by their parent company, Tennor Group, and its owner, Lars Windhorst.District courts in Flensburg and Neumünster have appointed lawyers Christoph Morgen of Brinkmann & Partner and Hendrik Gittermann of REIMER as provisional insolvency administrators. These filings follow months of instability and reported mismanagement, during which the shipyards struggled to meet operational costs and payroll obligations.On Monday, Schleswig-Holstein’s public utility provider threatened to cut off power at the Rendsburg facility after unpaid bills dating back to December 1. The shutdown was temporarily postponed because a federal police vessel remained at the yard for repairs.The financial collapse has affected around 500 employees at both facilities, leaving many uncertain about their future before the holiday season. Some have already lost their jobs. At a recent rally in Flensburg, workers’ union representatives claimed delayed salary payments, including outstanding November wages and Christmas bonuses. Jan Brandt, chairman of the Flensburg Works Council, accused Windhorst of repeated dishonesty and unkept promises regarding timely compensation.In recent months, workers, unions, and political figures have criticized Windhorst, citing poor management and lack of transparency. Schleswig-Holstein’s Economics Minister, Claus Ruhe Madsen, urged Windhorst to assume responsibility and consider selling the shipyards. With insolvency proceedings now underway, new investors may have the opportunity to restructure operations and stabilize the workforce.Tennor Group took over FSG in 2019 and rebranded it as “FSG 2.0,” but failed to secure the orders needed to ensure long-term viability. In 2021, FSG acquired Nobiskrug following the latter’s own insolvency proceedings, though this acquisition did not resolve ongoing financial problems. During summer 2024, the federal government withdrew a €62 million grant intended for LNG bunker ship construction at FSG, citing insufficient equity from Tennor.The provisional insolvency administrators are now working to resolve existing projects, including a RoRo ferry at FSG and a yacht at Nobiskrug. They may seek interim financing from federal and state governments until clients accept completed projects and provide payment. Insolvency pre-financing has been arranged to secure compensation for approximately 340 employees in Flensburg and 140 in Rendsburg through January 2025, covering overdue November salaries.Local officials and industry observers have suggested that FSG should pivot to manufacturing components for offshore wind energy projects to meet growing market demand. Others have recommended that Nobiskrug broaden its portfolio to include commercial vessels. With new ownership and strategic adjustments, the shipyards may still find opportunities to recover and rebuild their reputations in the maritime industry.German shipyard Nobiskrug was founded in 1905. Recognised today as one of the world’s foremost builders of spectacular fully custom superyachts, the shipyard is famous for the 92m Tatoosh, the award-winning 68m Sycara V, the 74m Mogambo, the 143m industry-changing Sailing Yacht A, and the environmentally innovative 80m Artefact.Credits: Nobiskrug

Heesen Begins Construction on 57m Project Evita
Heesen Yachts has announced the keel laying of Project Evita, a 57-meter all-aluminium yacht currently under construction at the company’s facility in Oss, Netherlands. The new vessel, featuring a shallow draft suitable for cruising the Bahamas, is designed to reach a top speed of 22 knots at half load.“To achieve such a high top speed, the yacht must be lightweight, so we are naturally building in aluminium – something that we here at Heesen have elevated into an art form over the years,” said Peter van der Zanden, General Manager of Design and Development at Heesen Yachts. “The vertical bow guarantees a long waterline length for maximum efficiency and speed potential, while the aft end is composed of complex sweeping curves. This yacht will be unmistakable when she enters a new harbour.”The exterior, designed by Omega Architects, includes an elongated profile and a distinctive scoop-shaped stern with sharp angles and dynamic lines. As the second vessel in Heesen’s new 57m Aluminum Class with FDHF, Project Evita has a volume of 780 GT.Inside, Harrison Eidsgaard’s interior design accommodates up to 12 guests in six staterooms. A central elevator connects all three decks. Amenities include a pool on the main deck aft and a transom lazarette for water toy storage.Project Evita is scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2027.Heesen Yachts is a Dutch ship building company that specializes in custom-built superyachts in aluminum and steel from 30m to 70m in size. Founded in 1978, it has launched more than 170 yachts since its inception.Credit: Heesen Yachts
Sea Ray to Debut First European-Built Surf Boat at Boot Düsseldorf 2025
Sea Ray has announced that it will present its first Europe-produced surf boat, the SDX 270 Surf, at the 56th Boot Düsseldorf international boat show, scheduled for 18–26 January 2025. The event will mark both the European premiere and the launch of European production for the model.The SDX 270 Surf was initially introduced in the United States in 2024. According to the company, the boat incorporates Sea Ray’s NextWave surf system, designed to produce customizable waves for various watersports. With electric surf tabs, active trim, and three ballast tanks totaling 1,900 pounds, users can adjust wave height and length to match their preferences. A bow thruster has been added to assist with maneuverability and docking.Brunswick-owned Sea Ray’s decision to expand production to Europe follows what the company has described as strong early retail performance, despite a challenging 2024 for the parent company. CEO David Foulkes noted in April that the brand’s new models contributed to market share gains at earlier boat shows.“We are excited to introduce the SDX 270 Surf to the European market,” says Keith Yunger, president of Sea Ray. “Our redesigned SDX line bridges the gap across generations bringing families together to enjoy a day on the water. The popularity of wake surfing continues to grow, and we are pleased to use the spotlight of Dusseldorf to highlight our entrance into surf boat production in Europe, and to showcase our exceptional 2025 Sea Ray lineup.”In addition to the SDX 270 Surf, Sea Ray will showcase its Sundancer cabin cruisers, including the Sundancer 370, 320, and 265. The Sundancer series will mark its 50th anniversary in 2025.Other models on display at the Sea Ray booth will include the SLX 400, SLX 500, SDX 290, SDX 270, SDX 250, SDX 250 Outboard, SLX 260, Sun Sport 250, Sun Sport 230, SPX 230, SPX 210, and SPX 190 Outboard.Credit: Sea Ray
Hot Lab Delivers Bespoke Interior for Latest Numarine 37XP Explorer Yacht
Milan-based design studio Hot Lab, part of the Viken Group, has provided a custom interior for the recently delivered M/Y Oculus, the latest unit in the Numarine 37XP explorer yacht series. This marks the fourth collaboration between Hot Lab and Numarine on this particular model.The Numarine 37XP’s design is characterized by an angular exterior, large trawler-style windows, and a pronounced bow. According to Hot Lab, the interior concept for M/Y Oculus was developed to reflect these purposeful lines while also meeting the owner’s requirement for a contemporary yet robust aesthetic. The design process was carried out remotely during the yacht’s construction phase.The interior features a blend of contrasting tones and materials. Pale upholstery stands against darker cushions, while dark-stained oak flooring contrasts with white deckheads. The chosen materials include ebony slats, white marble with dark veining, and organically patterned wool carpets. Stone elements, such as three large backlit onyx panels in the upper saloon’s bar area, contribute to what Hot Lab describes as a masculine ambiance, complemented by stitched leather bar stools and metallic mesh detailing.The yacht’s layout includes an open-plan main deck saloon with floor-to-ceiling glass, dining and lounge areas, a forward owner’s suite on the main deck, four guest cabins below, and additional lounges on the upper deck and flybridge. Numarine Chairman Ömer Malaz noted that the 37XP series aims to combine a spirit of exploration with interior design that aligns with the yacht’s overall character.M/Y Oculus was delivered in summer 2023 and is the latest result of a longstanding partnership between Hot Lab and Numarine. The studio reports that experience with previous units in the series informed its approach and execution on this project.The Viken Group includes Tillberg Design of Sweden, Hot Lab and Thalia Marine. It has been established to gather leading and passionate companies, with similar ideas and business ethics, under one umbrella. This enables it to provide a full range of completely aligned and comprehensive design, naval architecture and project management services.Credits: Kerem Sanliman/Numarine
