The Rostock-based shipbuilder Neptun Werft, a company belonging to the German Meyer Werft Group currently employing 570 workers, has announced plans to expand its business operations in 2019 and employ an additional 100 skilled workers in Rostock. The expansion is due to the growing demand for large tourist cruisers manufactured by the mother company Meyer Werft in Papenburg, West Germany, and Turku, Finland. The company is looking for project and site managers for the construction of complex engine room modules, as well as production managers.
