Havila concludes restructuring

Norwegian OSV firm Havila Shipping has completed its restructuring – a complex series of arrangements that has included the issuance of new shares and a couple of new convertible loans.

Moreover, eight ships have been identified as ‘non-core vessels’ and are to be sold off. 

The restructuring is intended to give Havila breathing room financially through to 2020. The company had skirted very close to bankruptcy last year.
