STX France SA, a 66.66 percent owned subsidiary of STX Europe AS, has rescinded the contract with GNMTC (General National Maritime Transport Company) - the state owned Libyan shipping company - for the construction of a 140,000 GT cruise vessel for delivery end-2012. SRX Europe says the reason for the rescission is the default of payment from GNMTC, MarineLog reports.
STX France says it is confident that it will be able to find a new buyer for the vessel. Due to insurance cover for such an incident, the rescission is expected to have limited impact on the financial results of STX France.
