Two of Deilmann top brass resign over Deutschland flag issue | ||||||||||||||||
![]() Andreas Demel and Marcus Mayr will leave the company on 15 August as they do not wish to go along a decision not to flag the ship after all, the company said in a statement. The management had intended to reflag the ship to Malta, but on 30 July it decided to retain the German flag as the issue had risen to public debate that reached the floor of the Bundestag, the lower house of the Federal German parliament. German ship owners have said that changes in the shipping policy due to budget cuts have rendered the German flag uncompetitive. “From a business point of view, it is essential to the success of Peter Deilmann to act with similar framework conditions as comparable shipping companies on the German market that operate their ships using other than the German flag,” Demel and Mayr said. ![]() |
