Flensburg, Deutschland - Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck visited the insolvent shipyard FSG in Flensburg on Monday.

In addition to FSG, the Nobiskrug shipyard in Rendsburg is also affected. Habeck's visit follows an invitation from the IG Metall boss Michael Schmidt and brings great expectations because numerous employees are waiting for outstanding salary payments. According to n-tv , a total of around 500 employees are affected.

The minister plans to talk to union representatives, the works council of the shipyard and the provisional insolvency administrators Christoph Morgen and Hendrik Gittermann.
