Rendsburg (dpa / lno) - The insolvent Rendsburg Nobiskrug shipyard with around 330 employees is to be sold.
The international consulting company PwC had been commissioned with the sale, announced the provisional insolvency administrator Hendrik Gridmann from the Hamburg law firm Reimer on Thursday.
"My goal is to find an investor by the end of June who will continue Nobiskrug in order to continue building ships in Rendsburg with the existing workforce."
In the past two weeks, several potential investors from Germany and abroad have already expressed their interest.
More than 100 potential investors should receive an information package and an invitation to submit an offer in the coming days.
"We are confident that Nobiskrug will be of particular interest to other shipbuilders and players from the maritime industry in order to be able to use the location and the know-how of the employees in the future," said PwC partner Timo Klees.
On April 12th, Nobiskrug applied to the Neumünster District Court to open insolvency proceedings.
The company cited critical developments in yacht construction as the reason.
Nobiskrug is part of the international shipbuilding group Privinvest.
The group also includes the German Naval Yards Kiel and Lindenau-Werft in Kiel.
Neither shipbuilding company is affected by the Nobiskrug bankruptcy.

The shipyard on the Kiel Canal, which specializes in the construction of luxury yachts over 60 meters in length, has built well over 750 ships since it was founded in 1905.
One of the best-known newbuildings of the past few years was the almost 143-meter-long mega sailing yacht “A”.
But it was built by Nobiskrug in Kiel.
