6. How do you see the future of the German flag.

The current development strongly threatens the constancy of the German flag in the international maritime industry. Only with massive political intention, could the German flag be maintained.
Otherwise, though, the German flag still has a place in seaside service, North and Baltic Sea navigation and fishery.
This part of maritime shipping should get more financial support by the government in the future so that the changing of flags does not take over as well.
