Rami Ungar withdraws offer to buy Gdańsk Shipyard

One of the main potential investors in the Gdańsk Shipyard, the Israeli shipbuilder Rami Ungar, has withdrawn its offer to purchase the ailing domestic company. The investor wanted to acquire a 100% stake, but last week the state-controlled Industrial Development Agency (ARP) took over a third of the shares. Today the Israeli investor is to announce a decision concerning its offer to increase capital in the Gdynia Shipyard, which is the owner of the Gdańsk Shipyard. The indebted company, in which the Israeli shipbuilder already has 20% of votes, hopes to acquire zł.500 million. Besides Rami Ungar, Ukraine's Donbas is also looking forward to acquiring shares in the Gdynia Shipyard, according to unofficial sources it is ready to spend zł.300 million on the investment.
