Rickmers Maritime warns trust could be wound up

The trustee-manager of Rickmers Maritime warned last night that the trust could struggle to continue as a going concern as a default on an interest payment looms.

Rickmers Trust Management said the grace period of five business days from the November 15 due date on the S$4.26m interest has lapsed.

Rickmers Maritime is also in default under terms of the agreements of bank loans extended to the shipping trust and its subsidiaries.
