MV Werften: Global One sold to Disney Cruise Line

Dr Morgen, a partner at the firm, said: "Several hundred current and previous employees of MV Werften, colleagues from Meyer Group and numerous suppliers will complete the impressive shipbuilding project in Wismar over the next two years so that it can set sail for Disney Cruise Line as a sustainable family cruise vessel in the future."

As part of the design changes, Disney is adding elements to improve the vessel’s environmental performance including converting the ship’s propulsion to be capable of running on methanol. 

The vessel’s remaining construction period is estimated to be approximately two years. A statement said that Dr Morgen will actively support the project at the Wismar shipyard by leasing the yard to Meyer Group.

In addition, the approximately 100 MV Werften colleagues still employed during the insolvency will contribute to the vessel’s completion, while Maritime Engineering GmbH, founded during the insolvency and now 100-head strong, is also providing services for the project.
