Sevmash appeals Court Ruling
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
On 10 December 2010, the state commercial court in Arkhangelsk decided in favour
of Odfjell and approved our application concerning the recognition and
enforcement of the arbitral award filed against Sevmash shipyard.
Odfjell has been informed that the Ruling of the Court was appealed and
cassation claim with the court files has been sent to the Cassation court in St.
Petersburg. As soon as the case will be registered in St. Petersburg we will
know the date of the scheduled court hearing.
In 2004 Odfjell placed an order at Sevmash, a large shipyard near Arkhangelsk,
for up to 12 chemical tankers, each of about 45,000 tons capacity. The
newbuilding contracts included an arbitration clause under Swedish law.
Excessive and continuing delays of construction forced Odfjell in 2008 to cancel
these contracts.
Odfjell claimed damages from Sevmash, and the Swedish arbitration tribunal
unanimously, on 30 December 2009, awarded Odfjell damages of USD 43 million plus
reimbursement of legal costs plus 8.5% p.a. interest for any delay in settling
the award. Sevmash has refused to pay Odfjell the awarded amount.
