We are officially restarting work on the construction of the LNG-powered RoRo ferry for SeaRoad.

FSG CEO Thorsten Rönner, FSG COO Michel Bollmann and Tony Johnson, Technical Marine Manager of the shipping company, jointly give the signal for the steel cut with the C57 module from section 43, the weather deck which is 23 meters above the keel.

This steel cut is more than just a start for Project 784, it is also the signal for the re-launch of the new FSG. The resumption of the project is a significant moment for us and shows that Flensburg still has a future in the shipbuilding industry.

The contracted RoRo vessel with a length of 210 metres and a width of 29.30 metres is scheduled for delivery to SeaRoad in the third quarter of 2026 calender year. It will have 3,722 lane metres available for the carriage of trailers / freight units, plus capacity for 101 cars (= 4,227 lane metres in total). A special requirement for the vessel is the capability to transport heavy cargo with a unit weight of up to 100 tonnes.

Full steam ahead: FSG is now part of the Heinrich Rönner Group!

With our long-standing experience in ship development, design, and manufacturing, we are a great addition to the corporate group.

“The FSG, with its employees, has been one of the best shipyards in Germany for many decades. We believe that with this investment in Schleswig-Holstein, we now have a fantastic additional building block in our group. Together with the other companies of the Rönner Group, we can now leverage synergy effects even better,” says Thorsten Rönner, the new managing director of our shipyard and partner of the Heinrich Rönner Group.

With the name change to “FSG Shipyard GmbH,” we set sail for a stable and successful future.
