Hong Kong Trading in shares of the owner of MV Werften in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Bremerhaven on the Hong Kong stock exchange was suspended on Friday. Genting Hong Kong had initiated the move because an announcement about information from the company is expected, as it was called in a message from the group. No more details were given.
Last Thursday it became known that the group that owns MV Werften is suing the state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for the immediate disbursement of an auxiliary loan of 78 million euros. Around 2000 people work at MV Werften. Your future is uncertain.
Shortly before Christmas, the state promised the aid loan to Genting Hong Kong on the condition that the company and the federal government come to an agreement on the future prospects of the shipyards in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The money should be used to bridge the time until a large federal aid package worth a further 300 million euros for the prefabricated construction of the giant cruise ship Global 1 at the MV shipyard in Wismar comes to fruition.
