German shipbuilder Nordseewerke Emden Shipyard (NES) had filed for insolvency as its deal to provide cruiseship hull blocks for Meyer Werft ends.
A spokesman for the district court in Aurich confirmed the Wednesday move to Gottinger Tageblatt.
NES has 80 workers. Former owners of the site had declared the yard insolvent in 2012 and 2015.
The current incarnation was founded after the second bankruptcy.
