Gdansk Shipyard files to annul sale to Tri-city Shipyard

"The syndic had judge-commissary approval to sell Gdansk Shipyard to Gdynia Shipyard and Evip Progress," stated Shipyard president Euzebiusz Szepietowski. "However, the shipyard was sold to Tri-city Shipyard Corporation. That's why we filed the citation." Tri-city Shipyard Corporation was formed by Gdynia Shipyard and Evip Progress to facilitate the Gdansk Shipyard purchase. Gdynia Shipyard spokesman Miroslaw Piotrowski responded: "Tri-city Shipyard Corporation firm was created due to formal requirements, so that the Gdansk shipyard deal could be signed." Gdansk Shipyard's management also wants to stop the sale from proceeding. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 24)
