Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft is a German shipbuilding company located in Flensburg. The company trades as Flensburger and is commonly abbreviated FSG.
History
Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft was founded in 1872 by a group of five local shipowners who previously had all their steamboats built in England as most German shipowners did in the 19th century.[2]
The first ship, the iron tall ship Doris Brodersen, was delivered to one of the founding partners in 1875. The cargo steamer Septima was commissioned a year later.[2]
Since then Flensburger has delivered more than 700 units of different types of cargo steamers and motor vessels and has also built sailing ships, barges, floating dry docks, tankers, fishing vessels, passenger ships, naval ships and even submarines.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Flensburger was acquired by Egon Oldendorff in March 1990 and then sold to the management in December 2008.[3]
In February 2019, Lars Windhorst's Sapinda Holding[4][5] acquired a 76% stake in the company and saved it from potential bankruptcy after the shipyard ran into financial difficulties due to multiple delays in the construction of the W. B. Yeats.[6] The full takeover of the shipyard was ultimately completed in August 2019 by the aforementioned holding company, which has since been renamed Tennor Holding B.V.
There was also a delay of several months in the subsequent construction of the Honfleur, which was due to be delivered in 2019. As a result of the delays, in February 2020 Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft and the Australian TT-Line Company terminated the contract concluded in 2018[7][8] for the construction of two ferries (construction numbers 778 and 779)[9] with planned delivery in 2021.[10][11]
Since 1 September 2020, the shipyard is owned by the Tennor Group, controlled by Lars Windhorst. Subsequently, in August 2021 FSG acquired the neighboring Nobiskrug superyacht shipyard, located in Rendsburg.[12]
In December 2024 the company filed for bankruptcy.[13]
