Last ship has sailed

THE MV Werften shipyard in Wismar, Germany, has been acquired by German naval company thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (tkMS).

The international MV Werften Holdings, with its German shipyards in Rostock, Stralsund and Wismar, filed for insolvency earlier this year, following the two-year stagnation in cruise business caused by the pandemic (TD 12 Jan).
